RV following in the SEC.

How would you rank the SEC based on number of RVs?
I'd guess Bama #1 and LSU #2. Mizzou had only one small RV lot until this year and they've opened a second lot to accomodate the SEC teams. This article linked below indicates they had a larger than normal # of RVs in Columbia this week with 70. I think I remember LSU having 6-7 RV lots of varous sizes that can hold about 400 RVs. I'm curious to see what they do for the Bama game in Columbia.
Also, they didn't see a larger economic impact from the Georgia game than they have in past. Why would they expect a larger impact with the same size stadium?

I'd be just as interested in the mobile home population by state.

Kinda off topic, but I was just thinking about the tailgating situation when we play Bama.
I'd think most non-RV tailgates would be cool if the bama fans just stuck to those lots. Pretty thick group of LSU tailgates where we set up. That day is going to be weird to say the least. I wonder how that space situation will set up.

More visitor tix alloted than were in the Big 12. And more fans coming to Columbia in general. It's the impact of the city as a whole, not just fans buying tickets.

Hahaha, I always love seeing the Clinton Museum on my way into LR. To be fair though, it did prompt a lot of gentrification in the downtown riverfront area nearby so it's not a bad thing.

Alabama typically has 75-100 RVs at away games. I think we had better than 100 in Arlington.

It's not only the visiting teams spending money. I don't buy that a lot more fans are coming to Columbia and not attending the game.

Yeah, that area is a lot nicer than 10 years ago.

We have the most stationary RV's...

That's what I was thinking. Bama alone could easily have as many as Mizzou and SC had combined.

The city of Norman had to find overflow lots for Alabama in 2002. I think I read we brought 120 or so RVs to that game. I know there were a lot in Pasadena three years ago too. There were even two over-zealous fans that had their RVs shipped to Honolulu for the Hawai'i game in 2003.

Since you are interested, I am pretty certain A&M. You aren't going to believe the number of RVs from A&M. Seem to recall A&M bought all available RV passes for the Cotton Bowl game with LSU back in 2010. Not sure LSU fans got any to speak of. Everywhere at A&M home games.
