Been to all of the SEC stadiums except for Kentucky, Vandy, A&M and Missouri.
The only bad experiences I've ever had were at Florida and at Mississippi State. Georgia, Ole Miss, Arkansas and LSU were awesome. The rest had their pluses and minuses, but everyone was pretty cool.

2007 AU-LSU in Baton Rouge.
Everyone shite talked and tiger baited us, but also gave us food and beer.
They wheeled a tiger in front of me and left it there for a little bit during pregame warm ups.
It was a close game. Hated that Auburn lost, but the ending was obviously memorable.
After the game was good too what with all of the drunk, happy LSU students stumbling around.
Only issue I had with the game was that it started at like 10pm eastern. Latest game I ever attended.

UF is my least favorite. Bama and UGA have some crazies that could ruin it for you (LSU probably has the largest amount of these types) but overall are really good times.
I guess I would have to say UGA. If it weren't for TOPS, I would have certainly considered going there. Perfect college town if you ask me.
Have not been to USC (was supposed to go last year) or UT. Would love to make it to those though.

Best trips were Columbia and Red Stick, worst by far was Fayetteville. Haven't been to College Station, Missouri, or Knoxville.

Athens is great. My wife and I went to the 2014 game and it was a great experience. We tailgated by I guess the convention center building on the road where the UGA rocks the bus. That was awesome to see.

LSU - Had a great time hanging out all day before a night game. Had plenty to eat and drink and great conversations. Having a lot of friends there helps. Worst part is that is took forever to leave the campus after the game.
Alabama - Always have an all day affair with great friends and was always treated wonderful as a guest. Always eat too much and drink too much...lol.
Arkansas - Had a great time, but didn't really tailgate much, just had a really great date the few times I went that was an Arkansas girl, so that made that experience much better...lol. Fayetteville has some good places to go after the game.
Georgia - Had a great time there and enjoyed it all day. It helped that my brother and sister-in-law teach there so they knew where to go and have a good time. Great places to go after the game.
Vanderbilt - Just not much there on gameday, but Nashville after the game has always been great!!!! Wonderful after parties.
Auburn - Good atmosphere and was treated nice, but nothing spectacular. But also did not have the number of friends that I had at Bama or LSU, so that does make a difference.
Miss State - I have a lot of friends there so had a good tailgate...the only problem was it really didn't pick up until just a few hours before the game. 6:00 game and half the people did not start arriving till mid afternoon. Nothing to do after the game to speak of either.
Kentucky - Had a good time and had a beautiful campus but was helped because of friends that had a good tailgate. It was more laid back than most of the previous ones except for Vandy.
I have not tailgated at Missouri A&M South Carolina Florida or Tennessee (although have been to some great parties at the Peabody when game was played in Memphis)

Each campus is unique and nice in their own special way. Love the entire SEC. Ive Been to Starkville a couple of times and that would be my least favorite.
Haven't been to Kentucky, Florida, Texas A&M or Missouri, but I would echo this sentiment. All I've been to are nice and have their own individual flavor. But Starkville is just barren and it's just......blah.

I haven't been to a whole lot of them, but I'll rank them thusly:
2003 Atlanta SECCG. Not an SEC venue, but most enjoyable nevertheless. LSU fans took over tailgating and the town prior to that game, as well as the scoreboard 34-13 over Georgia. But the UGA fans were sooooooooo cool.
1982 Freshman year. Fraternity road trip to
Birmingham. Enjoyable mostly because of the scoreboard. LSU 20- ala 10.
2012 Auburn. Very relaxed, laid back. Cool people, great tailgating. Old school feel, which I love.
2011 tusca. Bowl game atmosphere, great tailgating and good-natured banter. Tension and anticipation in the air. Plus the good guys won - on the road, at their stadium, which in effect should have ended their SEC season as the 3rd place team, which they ended up being.
One funny sidenote - A group of us walked past an ala tailgate that had ala fans actually inside a cage pulling a hot dog on a string and looking at us with slobbering anticipation apparently expecting some sort of reaction, as if we actually thought we should somehow be impressed by that.
I got them back by pretending to dial 9-1-1 and request the authorities to pick up some obviously disturbed people on the ala campus. They weren't amused.
I just told them "Dude, corndogs is Nebraska and Iowa, IDIOT, not LSU."
2007 tusca. Very good game that went down to the end. Despite the Katrina crap from (SOME) of the host fans (a continuance from the 2005 LSU-ala game), it was ok. Nice tailgating....Some cool people.

I went to A LSU game in 2010. We got spanked but it was a great experience. I even think Rick Ross had a concert afterwords.

I was there when we beat LSU. The tailgating before the game was great, after the game and parts of late in the game were outrageous. If you had a Msu bumper sticker on your vehicle you were at the mercy of vandals. I will never go back to Tiger stadium after that garbage. Go ask your Msu friends who went, it got ugly for no reason. They even insulted female Msu fans including some old enough to be their mother.

I can see that. Some little kid threw a dead snake at me before the game I went to in 2010 as I was making my way to the stadium. The the night before the game we went to eat at Applebee's wearing maroon and everyone looked at us like he had the Black Death.

Texas A&m in 2013 by far. Folks were cool, bought us drinks at the Dixie Chicken. Walking around people would tell us welcome and could they help with anything. Auburn is always great because you know so many people from Auburn personally its like a get together.
I won't go back to LSU. I finally got fed up with the shananigans that go on there. Just walking to the stadium is miserable. The most classless, drunk, foul smelling idiots I've ever encountered anywhere. My wife stopped after 02 and said she wouldn't go back. I went to the first Saban game back there and said that's it. I don't even like it when they come to Ttown. They are by far the worst I've ever seen anywhere. They are actually frightening with all the jumping in your face to scream Tiger Bait or other choice words. I just don't get people acting that way. I went to the LSU UGA game a few years ago and UGA fans were ruthless on LSU fans. One LSU fan stood up said whats wrong with you people? A UGA fan said we're giving you what you give us.
Florida, UGA, UT, meh, never had a problem with any of them. UGA fans at the SECCG in 12 were awesome to hang out with. Florida, never had a problem. They just don't say much. Kind of keep to themselves.

I left out a fight I was not near where a drunk tiger fan threw his beer at a Msu dad but hit his kid and the Lsu fans laughed instead of telling that jerk it was not cool. Several Lsu fans made it 3 on 1 and Lsu fans were yelling "Tiger bait." Classless, especially considering a dad just wanted to take his son to a game. I will chat football on here but never step foot in that shite place again.

Toss up between Auburn, Columbia, Nashville, & Lexington.

LSU the year yeldon caught the dump pass and took it to the house for the win. I didnt even go in the game. Just came to tailgate with Memphis and HBTiger and MSCoastie and some others. Ended up at a big tailgate put on by one of the guys on the OT and got to hang out with a bunch of those folks. Was the best time I've ever had at an away game. Havent been able to get back since then but I plan to before too long.

College Station was a great place for us and so was Columbia. Never really had a bad experience anywhere else but those 2 were especially nice.
