Don’t try to tell a SEC fan that stadium size doesn’t matter.

Football fans from the South take pride in their football cathedrals, and part of that includes being able to fit as many of their rowdy friends as possible into their favorite team’s stadium to scream until their voices are gone on a Saturday night.

We are a week away from opening a couple of these venues back up for the 2015 season, so let’s get an update on what maximum capacity should be at each venue this year.

14. Vanderbilt: Vanderbilt Stadium (Nashville, Tenn.)

2015 capacity: 40,350
