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-boarded Neyland Stadium to Athens’ Between the Hedges, LSU’s Death Valley, the Swamp in Gainesville, South Carolina’s Williams-Brice when ‘Sandstorm’ starts shaking the city of Columbia –– each school’s stadium has its own rituals and traditions that help make college football in the South the region’s favorite pastime.
