For me, it's a tie.

aTm - ugly campus, looks like military barracks. But their fans were friendly, helpful, and courteous.

Auburn - fans friendly, inviting opponents to their tailgates, eagle flight.

LSU in 2018 was a great time. Fans were outstanding, parties everywhere, food was great. It was everything college football is supposed to be.

UT is another amazing college football visit. Trees changing color, cabin in the mountains, two traditional rivals. Love it.

I’ve been everywhere in the SEC West. All but Kentucky in the SEC East.

The best experiences I’ve had were at LSU in 2006 and Missouri in 2012.

Yeah I'd have to agree 100% with that assessment.

LSU, Tennessee, and Georgia (mostly just because of Athens) are my personal favorites.

Bama in 2009 was fun. UGA in 2013 was interesting....

2007 Alabama and 2013 Georgia were hands down the best road trips I've ever been too. Had an amazing experience in Athens although we lost a shootout

Any campus not named University of Florida

But I really enjoyed Athens in 1999 even though LSU lost a heartbreaker.

Haven't been to many, but what I can say is Nashville will treat you right because you're guaranteed to be surrounded by your own fans. Thanks, Vandy!

Auburn 2012 was awesome .. maybe they weren’t as rowdy because their team sucked that year, but the fans were cool. Campus was awesome

Georgia 2013 was a very fun road trip. Everything about it was A+, even the game. Result sucked, though

I pitched this question to a friend, a UTK alumnus, who's been to all but Missouri and Arkansas on the road. He says he had great experiences at almost all of them, but the best were Auburn, A&M, Ole Miss, Bama, and LSU. He would have included Georgia and Florida in that list, but said the amount of heckling from them was beyond unreasonable (I'll take his word for it)

Said MS State and Kentucky are the least impressive of them all. South Carolina was ok

Cant believe I forgot UK.

A UK game when Keeneland is running is next level.

Drinks at Keeneland dressed up before noon, afternoon tailgate, evening kickoff and post game celebration.

Do not miss UK if the horses are running.

I always had a good time at Auburn. Really friendly folks on the Plains and had fun tailgating with them.

Surprisingly MSU was a fun time. It’s grossly underrated imo. Cotton District is awesome.

Oxford was fun too.

LSU has already been mentioned. I always have fun with LSU fans

Never been, but I don’t disagree with you. It can’t be hard to be better than some of the slums that I’ve been to in that quadrant of the country.

I really liked Arkansas.

Found a cheap grocery store parking lot but had to walk up a ton of hills that was a work out

Cool places on Dixon St for drinks.

Nice campus.

Really cool fans that were near me.
