UGA-Pretty fun. Would like to get back for a night game but it was a good atmosphere. The girls were

USCe-Solid. Never been to a night game here either. Nothing really stood out, but I had a good time.

Bama-Awful experience for me every time I have been for a loss. Fans are absolute trash. Haven't made the last 2 trips.

Vandy-Feels like a UT home game at a high school stadium.

UK-Nothing special but no complaints. Usually cold af.

UF-It can get very loud in there.

Ole Miss-Never been to a night game here either, but the whole thing had a small-time feel to me. The town, the gameday experience, the stadium, etc.

LSU-Was there in 05 after Katrina and that other hurricane. It got very loud in there. There were some complaints, but I will withhold them on this site.

AU-Fun. Tennessee always seems to lose here but I've had a good time.

Never been to College Station, Mizzou, Starkville or Fayetteville. Would like to CS and Fayetteville. No real desire to go to Columbia or Starkville.

I always tell people the best way to go to a stadium you've never went to and get a true/objective experience is go to a game when they're not playing your team.

That's when you just relax and have fun.

I met a group of Big 10 fans at an LSU game who pulled for different schools. The group had a road trip planned for one game they went to a year of stadiums they always wanted to go experience. They were wearing shirts that had all the different venues they've been to over the years.

I think if the only time you visit these venues is when they play "your team" clouds your judgement.

I've been to:
The Swamp
Jerden-hare
UGA
Bryant-Denny-Saban
Davis-Wade
Vaught-Hemmingway
War Memorial

Had a blast at MSU and Ole Miss. The OM fans are good sports for the most part.

UGA was awesome, but had a couple bad experiences but it is a great town with great venue. And we got anniahlated that day.

The Swamp was a lot of fun.

I try to see the good in every place I visit.

It's hard to do with War Memorial. The stadium is a dump and small, but it gets loud. I was at the Miracle on Markham.

I've only been to an away game at USCe. I would like to go to any of them, but my top of the list is LSU, UGA, and Ole Miss.

It's because I was an Ole Miss fan.

NOTE: Not every experience I've had in Starkville is bad. I've had some good ones. I'm just saying that the ONLY bad experience I had was in starkville.

Also, what's FOS? fricking Old Snatch? Because you're goddamn right I am.

Davis-Wade is the second oldest stadium in D1. I think that's cool about our stadium. The new expansion will be offering seating packages unique to college football. The Junction is also getting better every year and has improved drastically over the years. Starkville still gets a bad rap because of people that either haven't been, been recently, or just plain dumb, or ignorant...and ignorance is a choice. Great campus and the women are a lot better here than people give us credit for...it's MS, this state is loaded with some of the best talent in the USA. Plus, we have some of the most patriotic and genuinely good fans anywhere in the country.

Vaught-Hemingway- Been numerous times over a few decades and never to an EB. Nice quaint campus. The grove is a great one time experience, and it's easy to see why first timers rave about it so. But it hasn't always been this much of a deal, and if most of their fans weren't so lame and their women so dumb and fake acting, it would be #1, even in my book. The attitudes and airs put on by the fans and alums is just a downer. The town is set up nicely with the town-square appeal and it's aesthetically pleasing. They have done a great job with it. OM has a cozy stadium and that appeals to me more than some of the huge stadiums in the league. I've been around OM folks all my life, so I'm not as impressed the grove scene as much as the common outside fan-going to Oxford when their team visits. But I do have a few OM buddies that are the exception.

Sanford Stadium-Been to a game once, but to Athens several times playing music and visting. Athens is an awesome town, with nice stadium and nice women. Best overall college downtown I've been to.

That sums up my SEC football stadium visits. Would like to visit LSU, Ark, SC, and Mizzou for a change of pace type scene.

Been to Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, and Florida.

Best trip was hands down LSU. It was rainy and shitty and I still enjoyed it more than the others. Worst was Florida. Great stadium and electric atmosphere. However the fans were jersey shore wannabes and rude as frick. The tailgating also sucked. Losing 56-6 doesn't help either.

Would like to visit both newbies, and Ole Miss.

Been to Ole Miss, Vandy, Tennessee, Vandy, Auburn, and South Carolina for games and I'd rank them as:

1) UT
2) AU
3) OM
4) USCe
5) Vandy

One's I'd like to go to:

1) LSU - duh
2) Alabama- Big arse stadium, already really like Tuscaloosa, and I get to eat at Mugshots/Hooligans after
3) Arkansas- Need to see if Fayattenam to see if the town is as nice as everyone says and get an auto win
4) A&M - Idk, kinda wanna see their new huge stadium and all that crazy soccer chant shite they do

Couldn't give two shits about Mizzou, MSU, UK, and I have no desire to go to watch a UF game if UGA isn't playing there.

DGD when were you last in Columbia?


I know you've talked shite about our tailgating but it's been undergoing massive renovations. It's not SEC standard but we're getting there slowly.

Hope your next trip is more enjoyable.

Been to -

UGA (04, 06, 08, 10) - My favorite road trip to take. Love Athens and have always been treated very well. Had one bad night in 2010 after I couldn't change out of my bright orange coaches shirt which attracted barks all night, but besides that it is a great time.

Auburn (1990, 2003) - This is my favorite in stadium experience I've had. The eagle flying in is the coolest thing I've ever witnessed. The town leaves a little to be desired but the in-game experience is stellar.

Bama (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007) - Love the pregame video of the Bear...hate Rammer Jammer. Very good atmosphere, haven't been since the expansion, if we get decent again I'll make the trip soon. Good respectful banter with most of the fans here, don't usually have any bad interactions.

USC (1992, 2006, 2010) - Know a lot of people here. Tailgaiting is always fun, but no matter how many times I go to Columbia I always get lost around the stadium, not enough landmarks to figure out where you are. Don't enjoy techno so hate Sandstorm but the energy of the student section is top end. Just too much annoying sounds from the Cock Crow to Sandstorm to FIRST DOWN COCKS!

UF - (2007) Most hostile environment I have ever encountered by far. Sat on the fifty yard line on row 6 in the small sliver of away fans with about 50 rows of Gator fans behind us. The Gator chomp is awesome and the fans are really into their cheers. Didn't enjoy most of my fan interactions though and we will leave it at that.

Vandy - (A bunch) Always a good time, love Nashville. Game is the sidebar to the weekend.

Miss St - (2002) Noon game so not the best atmosphere. Very friendly fans and overall good environment. Counted about 20 water towers from the second deck...so not much to type here.

Want to go to -

1.) LSU - By Far
2.) A&M - Close Second
3.) Ole Miss - Close Third
4.) Arkansas - Big drop off here but would like to see Fayettville

Probably will never go to Missouri or UK.

I guess it would be Mizzou since it's the only stadium I haven't been to.
