I can't complain about the ranking, but a bit confused about the "proximity to campus" ranking. Sanford got 3, Kyle got 2 (Sanford is the only stadium that scored 3 in that category.'
Kyle's end zone is across the street from the MSC. Sanford's end zone is across a campus street from the UGA student center. ???
It's because the author of the article is just wrong in his assessment. I get the feeling that this guy hasn't really walked the campuses.
The location of Kyle Field and Sanford Stadium, relative to their campuses, is about as close as you can get. Both are on the East side of campuses which run north and south, and, although originally built on the edge of campus, would now be considered to be rather centrally located due to campus growing in that direction.
But, setting comparisons to Sanford and Kyle aside, I don't see their central locations, relative to the heart of campus, being particularly better than some others. In fact, for a visiting fan, I think Bama may have the best location because it is both close to the center of campus and to the bar district (closer than either Sanford or Kyle on that score). Auburn is well located, too.
