The problem tends to be travelling to every SEC desintation in every sport, in a short amount of time is somewhat impractical. Even the most loyal boosters and alumni tend to lean towards one sport-- and the fan experience-- visiting Rupp is going to give you a wildly different impression than visiting Proud Park, where you'll see Kentucky baseball.
That said, I've visited almost all of the SEC football venues, all of the SEC basketball venues, and about half of the baseball venues over the last 35 years. The best fan base, in terms of how they treat others, across all sports is Florida; Vandy and Kentucky deserve mention, but they each have single sports that spoil them overall as far as being on the Florida level. Other fan bases worth mentioning are Georgia and South Carolina.
I guess they put all the jerks in the SEC-West.

I've been to away games at Auburn, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee. I've been to bowl games when the opposing fans were from Ohio State, Florida State, LSU, Penn State and Oklahoma.
Left each game feeling that all of the above fan bases were outstanding.

LSU fans will feed you - have to appreciate that

I can't agree more, the walk on alumni from every team are the worst.
Honestly Mizzou fans are very respectful

Been to all the campuses except for aTm and Mizzou and never really had any problems.
Arkansas fans were probably the absolute best, but I enjoyed all of the game sites and each was different. Met some really nice folks at USCe, LSU, MSU, and UK. UTenn was probably the worst, but we stomped them both times and most of their fans were gone by halftime.

Kentucky fans have always been fun to hang with in general.
Good folks.

Had two bad experiences at Kroger field. we had a group member get hospitalized from something thrown from the stands. Cross division “rivals” so it’s always a fun game.
We also can’t say much as we threw bottles on the court during a basketball game years ago. I’m sure we could all find peace and comfort over a good bottle of bourbon.

LSU will feed you. A&M will kill you with kindness. But Kentucky will get you hammered on the good stuff.
Lots of great road trips to be had in this conference.

And y’all still make up shite on your message boards about anonymous Ole Miss fans you meet with popped up collars. The horseshite from State fans never gets old.

And yes, between chucking bottles at us at the Hump and the Boogie phone call in 2009-10, yall can't talk.
I've never had any issues with State baws when they come here. In fact ended up painting downtown Lexington red with my buddy and some random couple from Mississippi who came up for the game where Austin McGinnis hit the walk off field goal for us? Like 2014 or 2015? We were all eating at Hugh Jass Burgers on campus afterwards and we ended up hitting it off and took them around to several campus spots and showed them some true Kentucky hospitality.
If you don't like bourbon baws, then don't come here!

Oklahoma. A certified, all in, Alabama fan after visiting Oklahoma for a game said that he and his wife had never been so well treated at any SEC stadium.
