Traditions run deep throughout the south and a school’s football stadium is more than just a place where college football games are played.
If college football is our religion, the home stadium is the cathedral. It’s a holy place that provides a spiritual-like afternoon and an intense sense of nostalgia that can move even the most casual fan to tears.
From Tennessee’s iconic checker-board Neyland Stadium to Athens’ Between the Hedges, LSU’s Death Valley, the Swamp in Gainesville and South Carolina’s Williams-Brice when ‘Sandstorm’ starts shaking the city of Columbia –– each school’s stadium has its rituals and traditions that help make college football in the South the region’s favorite pastime.
