I'd put Oregon first definately, but I think Texas rivals any in the SEC. And USC has to be up there at or near the top as well.

[yankee]

honestly, it comes down to homerism when you're talking about the top teams in the nation. teams like texas, ou, florida, usc etc. etc. are all going to have first class facilities. buddy of mine took a tour of the barry switzer center in one of his classes and his jaw was basically on the floor the whole time. this coming from a guy who visited some schools for football...so it's basically take your pick. personally, oregon's is my favorite. we all know how good they are.

Unless you're a University of Miami fan... they may have the worst facilities among major D-1 programs

Is there any pics of the football facilities?

try this.
its an interactive map that will show you a pic here and a pic there, I can't find a lot of the weight room, indoor practice or outdoor practice fields or the Frank Broyles Center. Trust me though, no school has an edge on Arkansas when it comes to facilities, in football or all sports.

Texas has better facilities than UGA or Bama or LSU. UGA does not have impressive football facilities. Especially compared to places like Texas, Arkansas, Oregon, Oklahoma State and even A&M.

A&M is up there with the best in the country. The one thing I will say is that a lot of our facilities are a bit "sterile", but in terms of amenities, they are top notch.

Meh, They have very nice facilities for sure but I'd put UT's over theirs and you know I'm not just being a homer when I say that too.


And the weight room and practice fields (both indoor and out) were on that interactive map.

I know you are not being a homer, I just have a hard time saying UT or anyody having a facility edge over Arkansas. Arkansas has a weightroom every bit as nice as what they have in Austin and they have an indoor practice field everybit as nice as the Bubble. The outdoor practice fields are incredible as is the Broyles center on the open end of the stadium. With UT's latest stadium improvement that probably pushed them over the pigs in the stadium department but not by much.
Now when you take all their athletic facilities into consideration then yes UA IMO surpasses UT.

Bud Walton is a nicer facilty than the Erwin Center IMO. Bigger and newer. Yes I know they just did some renovations at the Erwin Center but it is not a better venue than Bud Walton. I will give the new practice facility to Texas, I do not recall Arkansas having one.
Baseball definitely favors Arkansas and that is even with the new renovations to the very nice Disch Faulk field. Softball same thing, has to go to the piggies. The Track facilities at Arkansas are amongst the very finest in the country too. Outdoor might be a push but Arkansas definitely has the edge on the indoor facility;)
Volleyball, once again will have to go with the piggies on this one. UT has some very fine facilities
Do not know what the Texas tennis facility looks like and I do believe that there really isn't much of a edge for either in Soccer.
Arkansas has a very nice golf facility too.

The Dean Dome followed closely by Rupp Arena are my two favorite college basketball arenas in the country. I have never been to either but love seeing those places on T.V

[farmerfan]

Yes SLC,
Texas does have some very impressive facilities. I have always been of the tought taht when it came to overall facilities in this country that Texas and Arkansas are in a league of their own. I could definitely see how one would favor Texas over the Piggies and vice-versa.

UT does have some nice facilities. Don't like their soccer stadium though. Fans are wayyyy too far from the Field of Play.
Here's the Aggie Soccer Complex on Fish Camp Night:

It's not huge by any means, but the up-close atmosphere is cool and when they have hosted the NCAAs they add a bunch of seating on the "visitor" side.

I believe that A&M and UNC usually lead the nation in soccer attendance. The A&M soccer complex is very neat and unique. A&M is one of the few schools that has a facility solely dedicated to womens soccer.
