Hope to visit each of em.
And the more unique the experience, the better.
You only live once; interacting with fellow college football fans is one of those things that makes life worth living.

It's an old venue. It has it's quirks. Just like Wrigley has seats that break your knees and Fenway has giant poles in the view.. My advice, next time get decent tickets.

You really sound like a miserable person.

I've been to:

Other than Florida, I've never had a bad experience.

Other than that IDGAF if I make it there.

I realize we (Kyle Field) fall into your IDGAF category; but if you ever reconsider, you're welcome to come tailgate with us.
Hosting visitors from other schools is probably one of Aggieland's favorite activities--we take it very seriously.
In the end, you still may not GAF; but I promise you'll have a good time.

Come when the ponies are running. Bourbon, horses and football in the same week-end? Tell me where that can be topped.

As opposed to the shite hole that is Neyland... where you have one rednecks fat knees in your back and one rednecks back fat draped on your knees and his arse crack in view? Yeah, I'll take Commonwealth.


I don't understand what he said that should garner a response like that.

Only been to AU and USCe (both in 2012) USCe was an awful experience but that's been touched on by many fans here before. Think it was more of a one time thing


What happened? Why was it awful?

Not arguing, just curious.

What happened in 2012 to make a UGA fan's trip to Columbia an awful experience? I would imagine the game itself would be a pretty large factor...

Been to Bama for the '12 A&M game and Arky for last years game. Both wins, both badass. You guys take losing to is much better than tsips did.

I really want to go to the UGA and I'm sure I will make the South Carolina trip this year or the next time around. Just to see how "bad" our permanent rivals place really is. Can't imagine it's anything like Kyle sound wise but we'll see.

Only been to three:

Davis-Wade
Jordan-Hare and
bryantdenny

Enjoyed the first two, especially Auburn (2012).
Very nice and friendly campus and loved the old-school feel, tailgating, fans, etc. Way cool traditions and big but cozy feel. Stayed in Opelika and it was nice as well.
State was very nice as well, though I don't have an adequate explanation as to why in the everloving f that if you merely turn your head to the side in an involuntary jerking manner because of a sudden clanging noise right behind your head, they get offended by that (that you involuntarily turned your head), and then they clang it WORSE.) WTH is THAT about ?????????????

MSU did have a nice student union and a pretty campus though.

Been to that other one two states over in 1980 (freshman frat road trip), 07 and '11. Really really enjoyed seeing grown men pulling hot dogs on strings through the grass inside a cage.
Also was so pleasanty surprised at the myriad of Katrina and Cajun insults that they were contstantly shrieking and bellowing in between tobacco spits.


Ones I definitely want to visit:
Vaught-Hemingway (can't believe I've never been)
Ben Hill Griffin (going this year !!!)
Neyland
Kyle
Sanford
Commonwealth
Maybe Little Rock and Columbia too...

Been to Georgia Dome for '03 SECCG, and Superdome countless times.

Nothing comes even remotely close to Death Valley though

I've only had a bad experience in Starkville.

Even LSU fans weren't so bad. For every crass, stupid coonass spitting in your face, there are two good Tiger fans who will toss you a beer and something off of their grill (all after they Tiger Bait you, naturally).

So LSU's good fans make up for their bad fans, in my experience. Bama fans were alright, Vandy fans are Vandy fans, Auburn fans aren't particularly memorable.

We were consistently in the top 25 in attendance until Joker ran the program into the ground. We'll get back to that. Good try though.

Would like to visit LSU for a night game, The Swamp, and A&M after the expansion.

JHS was one of the loudest environments(Iron Bowl) while BDS has disappointed on more than one occasion. Felt like too much of an NFL atmosphere.

There's always drop off by the time we play. Probably because Commonwealth is so freaking cold in late November + Thanksgiving Break/Thanksgiving Weekend.

Not temperature wise but when that wind kicks up, Commonwealth is one of the coldest places on the planet. Humid cold and wind - kills me every time.
