SEC football stadium sizes

The last post I wrote got me thinking about stadium sizes, particularly the SEC stadiums. After reviewing the sizes of the largest college football stadiums I learned that 6 of the largest 15 stadiums are in the SEC as well as 8 out of the largest 25.

Here are the SEC stadiums that are 8 of the top 25:
#4 - Neyland Stadium (102,037) - University of Tennessee
#7 - Sanford Stadium (92,746) - University of Georgia
#9 - Tigers Stadium (92,400) - Louisiana State University
#10 - Bryant-Denny Stadium (92,138) - University of Alabama
#11 - Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field (88,548) - University of Florida
#13 - Jordan-Hare Stadium 87,451) - Auburn University
#20 - Williams-Brice Stadium (80,250) - University of South Carolina
#21 - Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium (76,000) - University of Arkansas

And if you were wondering, here is the list of the top ten:
  1. Pennsylvania State University (107,282)
  2. University of Michigan (106,201)
  3. Ohio State University (102,329)
  4. University of Tennessee
  5. University of Texas
  6. University of Southern California
  7. University of Georgia
  8. University of California at Los Angeles
