The difficult environment both Bryant-Denny Stadium and Jordan-Hare Stadium creates for the away team is being acknowledged virtually as EA Sports prepares to release the latest edition of their video game, College Football 27.
As a part of the features of the game, each stadium has its own unique traits in terms of how difficult it is for the road team to play there with features like crowd noise that actually impact the difficulty of things for the opposing offense. Alabama and Auburn’s venues each cracked the list for the top-25 toughest places to play along with 10 schools in the SEC in total.

Bryant-Denny came ranked in the No. 4 slot behind only LSU’s Tiger Stadium, Ohio State’s Ohio Stadium, and Penn State’s Beaver Stadium, while Jordan-Hare came in a bit under ranked perhaps at No. 14 behind Texas’ Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium.
Also on the list were Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (No. 7), Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium (No. 8), Texas A&M’s Kyle Field (No. 10), Oklahoma’s Gaylord Memorial Stadium (No. 11), South Carolina’s Williams-Brice Stadium (No. 16), and Mississippi State’s Davis Wade Stadium (No. 25).
There’s no question where the hardest conference to play on the road is, and this is reflected with the most teams in the rankings.
