Which SEC school has the worst roadtrip experience?

I've been to every school outside of Florida, Mizzou, and Kentucky. Honestly have had a good time at each. It's hard to have a bad time on an SEC gameday on a fall Saturday. There are some clear favorites - Athens, Baton Rouge, and Oxford come to mind. But which school has the worst roadtrip/gameday experience?
In my opinion, the worst has to be South Carolina. Columbia is not exactly the most fun place by itself, but the fact that the stadium is off campus and in the middle of a sketchy area, really takes away from what a gameday in the SEC should be. I felt like I was going to a poor man's FAU tailgate. And while I really enjoyed everyone playing Ric Flair's theme song everywhere you went, there's not much else to do except walk around and brownbag a Cubweiser.
What are your thoughts?

I can predict where this one will go.

The off-season threads on the SEC rant have become borderline insufferable.

Texas A&M.. BY FAR AND IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE!!
As much as I like to give LSU fans shite, Baton Rogue is a great city to party and was an awesome experience...

When you go to Athens the toothless thUGA fans throw beer at you and their stadium smells terrible.

Not hating on the Swamp, but the Gainesville PD are just awful for opposing fans to deal with.

Most fun roadtrips from my experience:
1. Tuscaloosa
2. Cola
3. Como
4. Nashville
Worst:
1. Auburn
2. Knoxville
3. Lexington
There's good and bad with everywhere. I'm higher on Cola than most and lower on Athens than most.

Gainesville. The permanent opponent scheduling is bullshite when the other teams get to go to Athens, Nashville, Knoxville, etc

That "The Grove" is the most overrated thing in sports.

Least favorite was Florida. The drinking laws suck. I've heard if you know where to go and what to do it can be fun though.

Actual gamedays at Arkansas aren't that great. Dickson is cool but tailgating in Fayetteville is some of the worst in the SEC

I have never had a bad time at any SEC stadium, outside of losing at a couple of them.

Ole Miss fans cheering when Johnny went down left a bad taste in my mouth. Pretty classless.
Bar scene is pretty fun though even though everyone packs one bar

I've never had an experience where I'd even classify it as "worst". I've had fun everywhere I've gone. Usually, there's probably nothing wrong with the venue, there's probably something wrong with you.

I've never had a bad experience on the road so far. All fan bases, including 'Bama's, has their few fans that act out and be idiots. The best tailgating by far is at LSU. Great food, in '12 they had a few bands playing, and cool fans.
9 times out of 10, if you're not an a-hole, you won't get any shite. The only time I've ever had any trouble was in Baton Rouge after the '12 game. Outside of the 'Bama band playing rammer jammer, that stadium couldn't have been any quieter. All I got was a "frick you" from a drunk student. Georgia fans are pretty cool to drink with also.

What a stirring observation that has never been brought up on the Rant before.

You should trying pissing on their statehouse. It's really quite pleasant.

Be careful when you go to Athens.
They spit.
