23. Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium (Arkansas)

Prior to playing their games at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in 1937, the Arkansas Razorbacks played in front of just 300-plus fans and a home-field advantage was definitely not something you would call that.

Arkansas built Razorback Stadium in 1938 and it originally held about 13,500 fans and it has since risen to 72,000 after its most recent expansion in 2001.

Then-athletic director Frank Broyles proposed a gigantic renovation to the stadium in order to keep up with the rest of the SEC in 1998 and it was approved, giving the Razorbacks some bragging rights with their massive 30 by 107 foot LED screen and scoreboard in the north end zone while also adding about 22,000 seats.

Right now, Razorbacks Stadium has a horseshoe shape, but Athletic Director Jeff Long proposed a renovation in 2011 that would enclose the north end zone and add about 5,000 extra seats to its capacity.

In 2012, the already mammoth video board was upgraded to a 38 by 167-foot monster and fans of the Razorbacks will never miss a play again. No need for binoculars ever again at this stadium as the Razorbacks have awarded their loyal fans with a state of the art LED display, also known as the “PigScreen.”

Now only if the Razorbacks could start winning some SEC titles under Bret Bielema that would make the experience here even better.
