Congrats to UGA fans on the win in Sanford North Huge showing 900 miles from campus with tickets that were going for 1K each

Hell they even took over Chicago

What is your team's most impressive showing at an away game? *NO VANDY*

Bama had a good showing a few years ago at Duke

Huge bama section celebrates 2011 Iron Bowl win

Apparently the gumps took over the Rose Bowl vs. UCLA in 2000 but I can't find a good pic

Obviously the Notre Dame game is more impressive, but we had 60-70% of Vandy's stadium in 2015.



Also, there are two types of Georgia-Georgia tech games:

Georgia home games and neutral site games in Atlanta

Bama, at least years ago, generally took over State's stadium every time they played there.

Now, State may have a bit more fans that prevent this, but they've expanded the stadium.

At least 3/4s of Baylors stadium is maroon.

Yes, he is. Every UGA fan I know that went, and it was a lot, got tickets for $500-$550. Maybe if you tried to sit halfway up on the 50 yard line they were 1k but you could easily get in for half that.

He isn't. They showed on the ESPN graphic last night that they were the most expensive college football tickets thus far and were over $1,000 a piece.

I haven't seen that much red since Nebraska invaded South Bend in 2000.

There's no good pic of Alabama having a good crowd at the Rose Bowl vs UCLA. Any memories of that game deserve to be shattered.

Best take over for Bama would be '08 vs Tennessee. Rammer Jammer. Loved the trip to Happy Valley because PSU fans did their annual "white out" game, and you could point out all the Alabama fans there. There was nothing like Tennessee in '08 though. That was literally a home game.

Other than that, it would be in the IB, but for obvious reason, both fan bases bring a shite ton of fans into the opposing stadium. One of the great things about having an intense in-state rival.

They also said there were over 200 private planes there, which was a lot more than normal. So, folks flying up in their own planes dont give a flying frick about dropping 1k on a once in a lifetime ticket.

I can't believe they would misrepresent things in order to make the game they were broadcasting appear more important!

You're a UGA fan, I know you know it's not true. No need to get defensive. It was still awesome what UGA did up there, that's why there's no need to exaggerate it to try and make it sound better.

To Be fair, Wisconsin on Labor Day>Houston on labor. Also that picture is from West Virginia

I was at every game you listed. I think Seattle was the most impressive. They had to fence off an area on their campus for us to tailgate. their president use to work at LSU and he said "believe me if we don't get them a spot they will find one"

I had Washington fans coming up to us pissed since they don't do it every game

A&M held each of the top 5 highest attendance games at Baylor's old stadium. We'd have 25-30k in a 50k stadium.
