Where does Kroger Field rank among the largest stadiums in the SEC?
There’s no doubt about it — when 50,000-plus are screaming inside Kroger Field, it can turn a Saturday in Lexington into a nightmare for opposing offenses. The roar rattles quarterbacks, pushes offensive linemen into false starts, and sometimes even flips the scoreboard. It’s one of the most underrated home-field advantages in college football.
But in the arms race of stadium size, where does Kroger Field actually rank in the SEC? The answer: nearly the bottom according to 2024 numbers.
