What's Happening?
A recent ranking of SEC stadiums based on online reviews from Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor has placed Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium at the top. The rankings reflect the public's perception of game-day atmospheres across the SEC, with Alabama leading due to its consistent success and packed stadiums over the past 25 years. Texas' Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium ranked lower than expected, possibly due to visiting fans' antipathy. Mississippi State's Davis Wade Stadium received positive reviews, ranking eighth despite Starkville's smaller size compared to other SEC cities.
