SWAC football players, in a poll conducted during media day, deem that Florida A&M's Bragg Memorial Stadium is the toughest place to play football. A short YouTube video posted by the NCAA Championships page asks players about the toughest SWAC environment to play in, and 5 of the 18 players asked chose Bragg Memorial Stadium. Jackson State's Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium was second in the poll with four votes. Alcorn's Jack Spinks Football Stadium and Alabama State's ASU stadium were tied at 3.

FAMU's Bragg Memorial Stadium being named the toughest to play in makes sense. The Florida A&M football team has won fifteen straight home games, dating back to the 2019 season. Their last loss in Bragg Memorial Stadium was to South Carolina State on November 10, 2018. The Rattlers, still in the MEAC, were beaten 44-21 by the Bulldogs. In that season, they were still dominant, holding a 4-2 home record.
