Top 25 college football stadiums: From the Bayou to Bevo

Fourteen of ESPN's college football writers rank the 25 best stadiums in the sport. Who's No. 1, who missed the cut and what makes these stadiums so special?

21. Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Ole Miss Rebels, est. 1915​

Points: 51

Long one of the most unique atmospheres in college sports with its famed tailgating scene in The Grove, a 10-acre grassy area of land shaded by oak trees in the heart of campus, Vaught-Hemingway turns into Party Central in the fall. Fans from both teams flock to open-air tents in The Grove that feature all the amenities, from big-screen TVs to fully stocked bars, even chandeliers. The women students are known to dress in their Sunday best, and there's an air of Southern hospitality you don't find on every SEC campus in the fall.

Vaught-Hemingway crammed in a record crowd of 66,703 last season for the Rebels' win over LSU. There are certainly larger stadiums around the college football landscape, but there aren't many environments that are more fun than spending a day at the Vaught. -- Low

I could not read any further after they ranked the Rose Bowl #2.

Number 1 for templeton troughs, though!

I just skimmed to see the ranks. Didn't read to determine the why, but several seemed out of place. Probably would have pushed georgia higher than they were.

They are ranking the supposed best stadia in the country, and the blurb about OM talks about how great the grove is.

Newsflash, dipshiits: the trees aren't in that piece of shiit stadium, nor are they on the grounds around it. I guess we should have submitted Dudy Noble as evidence of how great DWS is.

The whole list is shiit. Bama way overrated. Oregon. Army?? WTF. I don't think any of these supposed writers has been to any of these stadia. Also, did y'all know the plural of stadium is stadia? I like saying stadia.

Didn’t know that. Sounds like a venereal disease.

I don't take any opinion, or anything said about ole miss by ESPN seriously.

Reminds me of my best friend’s story about going to Memphis to have his shots, test, etc. completed before joining the National Guard. As told by him:

Recruiter (excitedly): “We’re staying across the street from the PEABODY!”

Friend: “but where are we staying?”

Recruiter: “across the street from the PEABODY!”

Friend: “but what hotel?”

Recruiter: “the holiday inn…. But it’s across the street from the PEABODY!”

Heh...I stayed in that hotel. I think it's a Holiday inn brand.

Perhaps at one time the Grove was a unique experience, but now it just doesn't have anything you can't see at other tailgating venues, especially in the SEC. It certainly doesn't make OM's snap-tite stadium any better.

It's such a cliché pick. "BeTtUr iNcLuDe tEh GRROOOOOOVE! So PURDY!!"

Those rankings suck

The article didn't give any criteria. Maybe LSU fans are the most obnoxious but...

Tiger stadium is a dump. It is old. It has small concourses. Their upper deck is ridiculous high. Endzone seats are too low. The grounds around it is nothing special. I don't particularly care for their campus architecture. The city is a crap hole. Anyways.... I've stated my case.

Alabama and Auburn are nicer stadiums and campuses than LSU.

But of the stadiums I've been to, Razorback stadium is the nicest venue. It has modern amenities. Beautiful facade and in a beautiful setting. Great sight lines. When they are good, their fans are loud. Etc etc.
