My trips:
Alabama - Pretty campus and tailgating was pretty fun. Likely won't go back. My interactions with Bama fans weren't very good.
Auburn - Tailgating was better than Bama and overall had a better time. Overall probably second favorite away venue to go to.
Georgia - This gameday experience is probably tops in SEC. The bar scene puts it over the top. I like tailgating at LSU better but the bars at UGA are 100x better. Stadium is nice. Fans were pretty hostile during the game but before and after they were nothing short of amazing.
Tennessee - Cool different experience tailgating on the River. Probably my least favorite stadium of them all. Small seats and the views for opponents are garbage. Still good trip to make.
Ole Miss - Probably my least memorable away trip. Grove is too "proper" for my liking and I wear collared shirts to sporting events so it's just too try hard IMO. Stadium looks like a high school field.
Florida - Stadium itself is pretty cool. The tailgating is hot garbage. Too many rules. Wasn't impressed at all.
South Carolina - Had a really good experience at South Carolina. Stadium is cool and it's probably the only experience where piped in music brings more to the table than the band does but its great. Found some really nice USC fans to party with.
Only places I really want to go to besides these is aTm for football but I can never make it because it's on Thanksgiving. I want to go to Miss St for baseball and UK for basketball.

My most recent trip to Florida was nice. We went to a few bars and tailgated on W University near Buckman. Nothing mind-blowing, but zero complains. The campus looked nice enough and the stadium was in a good location. It had a much different feel than Kyle, but it was a lot of fun. The suites were dated, but still very nice.

Hope you will give it another try. LSU fans are usually fun.
