Legends of the Gridiron America's Most Iconic Stadiums State by State

24. Mississippi – Vaught-Hemingway Stadium (Capacity: 64,038)

Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford embodies the University of Mississippi’s storied SEC football culture. Holding just over 64,000 fans, it’s the oldest stadium in the conference, first built in 1915 and since expanded multiple times. Named in honor of legendary figures John Howard Vaught (longtime head coach) and Judge William Hemingway (chairman of the Athletics Committee), it anchors campus life on fall weekends. Just outside is The Grove, the school’s famed tailgating area, draped in centuries-old oak trees and a sea of red and blue tents. Game days here are known for Southern hospitality, fine cuisine, and an electric buzz that sweeps across campus.
