Auburn in 2005. night game and it was over after Spurrier had to call 2 timeouts before the first snap of the game was even executed. Tiger fans were great to our crew of Gamecocks - even if it was out of sympathy.

was also at JHS early 90s for Carolina's first SEC visit to The Plains.

Athens on the regular since the 80s so it really doesn't feel like a road game for most Gamecock fans. I'm sure Dawgs think the same about Columbia, too. it's just something you do every other year.

Lexington when Keeneland has the horses running is by far my favorite. Commonwealth's renovations have made it one of the best venues in the league. wide concourses are so big they could easily accommodate even the average sized Tennessee fan, too.

I know a lot of UT and Auburn fans, so those are my favorite to go to because I know the most people. Excluding those

1.) A&M
2.) LSU
3.) Ole Miss
4.) Arkansas
5.) South Carolina
6.) Miss State
7.) Vanderbilt

Baton Rouge. Nothing more fun than walking out of that shithole with a W. Happens a lot, too.

Auburn. Been making the out of town trips for 25 years and just really like Auburn. Go up 4 or 5 days early and play the golf courses all around. Really nice people

The only places I’ve been are Jacksonville, Nashville and Oxford.

Jacksonville was the best, but in terms of true road games, Nashville was the best. Obviously, the city is great, but the stadium is great to watch a game in because of how small it is (every seat is close to the action) and the Vandy fans are super nice, although that’s likely a product of how many arse kickings they’ve taken on an annual basis

Fayetteville, for a different vibe, different feel.
Then hit Dickson Street.

LSU is the best trip.

Auburn has the best fans though, not like their internet presence at all.

Auburn is always nice.

Can understand why you'd like Knoxville, it's a nice town.

To be honest I enjoy every SEC town I travel to.

Wait until you meet their baseball fans. They have some sidewalkers who will talk shite.

Haven’t been to Mizzo, since it took a pandemic for LSU to play there, or USCE, was going the year it got moved to BR. Oxford, Athens and Nashville are fun trips, but I enjoy Tuscaloosa the most. Plus having been 10-11 times since 1993 I’ve seen all the wins except 1.

I’ve only been to Nashville and BR. Had a great time at both. LSU fans were great, tailgating was great. I have more of a bucket list than an actual experience.
Football:
Oxford
Auburn
Knoxville
Athens

Baseball:
LSU
USCe
MSU
Ole Miss
I would more likely prefer to attend as a neutral observer than a fan to get a true experience.

I've been to all but Mizzou and aTm, some, like bama, UGA, UF, and LSU, numerous times. Ole Miss and UGA are probably my favorites. The folks in Arkansas were nice, but we just didn't see much other than the game. LSU is always a trip and I've had a lot of fun there.

There was a time when opposing fans could get halfway decent seats without paying out the nose. It was more fun then, but it's always fun to see how other schools do football.

I have been to all of the non expansion teams' stadiums. I would say I enjoyed Oxford the most, but that had to do with my company. All of them were pretty cool all kidding aside. Auburn fans were the nicest until kickoff at least.

Had a few great trips to T-town. Amazing tailgating. Stadium is like a pro venue—but larger.

Saw a game in College Station a few years back. AMAZING traditions and fan participation.

Would love to see them all one day, but I don’t know if I could handle 4 hours of State’s cow bells or UT’s “Rocky Top”

Tuscaloosa, Oxford, then Auburn. Never had a good trip to Athens. Ga by far are the most rude and unfriendly bunch in my experience.
