All of them. LSU and Bama 4 times each, UGA 6, the others once or twice. Did USCe for the first time, strange not being on Campus. UT twice, but enjoyed it.

Ive seen LSU play everywhere except South Carolina and then obviously the new additions to the SEC, although I have been to SC's campus. (also, have only been to little rock, not Fayetville)

My favorite trips are Georgia, Auburn, and Ole Miss. Bama is pretty fun too and Florida's atmosphere is great but they have the worst tailgating.

Overall I'd say Knoxville/Neyland is the most overrated and by far Kentucky has the worst fans. I may never go back to Lexington it was so bad.

I've been to all current SEC schools + A&M. I've never been to Columbia, MO.

My favorite college towns are Fayetteville and Athens. Both are very beautiful and have a really nice feel to them. I have to admit that I do like the Square in Oxford too.

Best game day experience outside of LSU would be Alabama and Georgia. I love the whole game-day experience at both of these campuses. Lot's of tailgating and a very lively atmosphere.

Best Stadium's to watch a game in outside of LSU are Alabama and Florida. Bryant Denny and The Swamp are full of electricity when LSU plays there. Night games at both are great! I must admit that I do like Jordan Hare quite a bit too.

yes including A&M and Mizzou (but not for LSU games)


Worst is Vandy, it's a shithole and a joke stadium

Best is UF

rank would be I guess: (excluding LSU)

UF
Bama
UGA
SCar
Aubie
Ole Miss
A&M
UT
UK
MSU
Mizzou
Arky
Vandy


Dude, for Arkansas did you go to Little Rock or Fayetteville? My guess is either you went to LR or you're full of shite. The stadium on campus in Fayetteville is pretty damn nice.

These are the campuses I've been to in the SEC(some not for football games)


LSU
Florida
Alabama
Auburn
UGA
Tennessee
Ole Miss
Miss State


Imo Alabama, LSU, and Ole Miss have the prettiest campuses. Tiger Stadium has the best atmosphere for a big SEC game imo.


ETA: hope to add the Texas A&M Aggies for next year.

Just a heads up. There are many of those in Columbia, MO. If you come to visit. Take a cab. They don't even understand the rules of giving the head football coach a lift home.

All of them several times.

My favorite over the last few years has been USCe believe it or not. Lots of energy there. They sell out in bad years so their fan base is really behind them now. They were obnoxious and we got cussed and things thrown at us but to me that's all part of the fun.

LSU has always been tamer than its reputation when I've been there (at least 7-8 times) but still fun. UGA/UT/OleMiss/UF/AU are all great.
Vandy/MSU/UK/Arky are not SEC type football crazy. More like Big East or MAC. I didn't go to Arky in 10' so maybe its better now but they should support their team in bad years too.

If you haven't been to T-town since we added on you're missing out. 101k fans. The excitement level will blow you out in big games. There's just not that many big games but always sell out.

I can't wait to go to TA&M and Mizzou.

I have been to a football game at every SEC school, including Texas A&M and Missouri. I have been to a baseball game at every SEC school, minus Missouri.

Favorites: University of Kentucky

Least Favorite: Texas A&M (although this may change since we not playing in 120 degree weather the first week of September)

Been to all of them besides Starkville, Fayetteville and Columbia. Also haven't been to either of the new guys.

In order from best to worst:
Baton Rouge
Athens
Lexington
Tuscaloosa
Oxford
Gainesville
Auburn
Knoxville
Nashville (just the Vandy part)

not that it's all that relevant to this discussion, but I live near Boulder, CO and it beats the pants off any SEC town.

Worst SEC campus is TN. I would say MSU but I hear they have beautified the campus quite a bit since I was last there. Starkville, however, is the worst town. I can't imagine it has changed much. It's just a shitehole.

Ok buddy. I went there last year and can undoubtedly say you're wrong.

To the OP, I've been to 11 of the 12, and the only reason it's not all 12 is because we don't play in gainesville. I'll leave Jacksonville and Athens off my list. I would rank like this, taking every factor into account:

1) LSU
2) bama
3) ut
4) auburn
5) arkansas
6) usc
7) uk
8) om
9) msu
10)vu

I've been to all except Vandy and MSU.

I guess A&M and Missouri count now though so I gotta go there too.
