Just saw this on www, so apologize if it's old news. Not at all surprised we are the top-rated baseball stadium experience in the country, but I did find it rather amusing they also have us rated higher than Ole Miss for football stadium experience. The biggest hit Ole Miss took in the review was their "Fans". From their write-up:
When bitter SEC rivals come to town, such as Alabama, LSU and especially in-state rival Mississippi State, Ole Miss fans tend to be a bit on edge and not so friendly. Rebel fans have a reputation around the SEC for being loud, uncontrollable drunks and when those fan bases show up to cheer on their team, Rebel fans are not always the most inviting.
However, Ole Miss fans are usually very inviting and friendly to most non-conference and even conference foes from the Eastern division of the SEC. Mississippi, known for its southern charm and hospitality, is usually represented well when this is the case, but that tends to go out the window when a fierce rival is in town.
As far as inside the stadium, it is refreshing to watch Rebel fans and how they react to the game. The fans do have a tendency to leave when things are not going their way, but when the team is good, as it has been so far under Freeze, the fans are relentless in their passion for their team. They defend them against referees and all else. Overall, the fan base is very knowledgeable as well. Football is king in Oxford and you can tell that as many Rebel fans are very educated and know when to cheer, when to bring out the boo birds and when to tip their caps to the opponents. That is very refreshing.
