How many SEC stadiums have a cemetery close by?

I haven't been to all the stadiums. I know that Bama and Georgia do (and so does Clemson, even though they obviously aren't SEC).
Any others? Seems like an interesting juxtaposition.

Auburn just has remains on their field.

Not really a strange thing... Doesn't bother me in the least. Heck, if I was a UA alum I'd like a plot near the south end zone in tusc

We were so close to the end of the offseason and then you just had to go and do this.

Depends on how you define "close by".
If you mean within, say, five miles, I would wager all of them do.
ETA: Certainly all of the old land-grant Universities do.

Kentucky does not in the immediate vicinity (less than a mile.) There is however a Mormon church close by Commonwealth....that's strange enough.

Arkansas has one that runs up against campus and has a bunch of famous alums in it. However, it's on the direct opposite side of campus from the stadium.

I think there is a tree cemetery close to Jordan-Hare

South Carolina's stadium does. It's where their hopes and dreams of winning an SEC championship with Spurrier are buried. RIP

Does Tennessee's body farm count?

If animals count, we are in.

That cemetary is on the National Historical Register.
A lot of prominent people are buried there. The French General LaFayette, for instance.
There was also a cemetary on Dickson Street back in the day, I believe.
ETA: There was a cemetary at the Law Office of Archibald Yell. That's what I was thinking of. On the corner of College and Dickson. So maybe a mile from campus.

You know, it IS a shame what that crazy fu(king Alabama fan did. Those trees were live oaks, or sometimes known as Spanish oaks. They're rare and in a lot of places they're dying out.
Fu(kin' Gumps.

Agree. What is next?

That cemetery at UA needs to go. It's an eyesore and is hampering development along Bryant Dr.

VOLS have one directly under the playing surface

How exactly do you plan they do that? Call up family and tell them to come pick up their deceased loved ones because they are making room for more game day condos?
