I've not been to Kentucky. I want to go there, hit the bourbon trail and shoot automatic weapons.

Louisiana - Home state
Texas - visiting relatives in Houston area, plus lived in central TX for 7 months, and visited other cities.
Arkansas - Drove through, least amount of time spent in any SEC state.
Missouri - 10 weeks of Basic Training at Ft. Leonardwood (I really wish I could take those 10 weeks back).
Mississppi - too many visits to count.
Alabama - Gulf Shores and driven through just about the whole state.
Tennessee - 3 week stay in Memphis following Katrina, Gatlinburg, and driven through most of the whole state.
Kentucky - Went to 3 UK games in Lexington.
Florida - Numerous vacations throughout the state plus LSU/UF game in the Swamp during the 80's, Saints/Jaguars game in Jax, and Saints/Bucs game in TB (when Graham tore Sean Payton's ACL).
Georgia - Lived in Savannah 3 1/2 years, two Saints/Failcounts games in Circus Tent.
S. Carolina - Savannah is on the border, plus went to undergrad at small school in Charlotte metro area (also a state border town) so numerous visits throughout the state. Went to a LSU/USC baseball game back in '04.

46 of them. All but 4 New England states. ME, NH, VT, and RI. Intend to visit them in the early Fall. Maybe this year.

Have been to all SEC football stadiums except aTm, Arkansas, Kentucky, and MO. Did attend a SEC Basketball Tournament in Lexington, and a Bama-Arkansas football game in Little Rock. Believe it or not, Bama won both. 1982 BB and 1992 FB.

Been to every SEC state. However, I have not been to Columbia Missouri, but I've heard it's a pretty laid back place. I'd like to go. Taking a quick glance on Wikipedia, it seems like it's one of the fastest growing places in America.

Even though I've seen a boatload of Bama games in the 40 years I've been attending games, the only stadiums where I've seen an SEC matchup game are Legion Field, T-town, Auburn, Superdome and Georgia.

This thread has made me realize I need to branch out more.

I live in a little town 10 minutes from the city limits of Columbia. CoMo itself is an alright town. It's got lot of good restaurants and things to do. But if you're just visiting Mid-MO, I'd go to the Lake of the Ozarks. There's something cool to do all around the place. Jeff City has awesome scenery. On 63 North in JC, you can see the Ozark mountains with the State Capitol peeking in the horizon and it just looks awesome.

Columbia is an okay town, but the surrounding areas are what really make the central MO area special

I'm planning on traveling there for the Bama-Mizzou basketball game this year, but only if it falls on a Saturday. How's the live music there? Would love to pack in a great weekend for the trip.

Thanks for the suggestions

Kentucky- Plenty of times. Most recently there for Breeder's Cup and UK @ UT last October

Tennessee- Live here

Georgia- In ATL once a week or so. Was there Monday

South Carolina - Used to go twice a year to Kiawah. Haven't been since last summer

Florida - Usually down there a couple times a year. Was last there in January for the Outback Bowl

Mississippi - Tunica, Oxford, driven through on way to New Orleans. Don't think I've been there since 34-3.

Alabama - If I drive to Destin, Seaside, etc. I go through Bama. Played a round of Golf on the trail in April.

Missouri - Spent a lot of time in STL (unfortunately). Was in Como to watch the VOLS in November

Louisiana - Been to New Orleans four or five times and saw the Dooley disaster in 2010, Haven't been there in about a year and a half

Texas - Family in Houston. Also spent time in Dallas and Austin. Was there last summer and will be at the A&M game in October.

Arkansas - Never been. Only reason I could see myself going is to see a VOLS bball or football game.

only been to the Dallas games and bowl games until last year. Knocked out Starkville . Looking to knockout auburn and college station this year. Any negative comments about other Sec places don't phase me because I'm the type that's gonna have a great time no matter where I go.

For Starkville last year we shut down cowbells the night before playing pool till 3am with the dawgs then walked around tailgating the next day and hitting a few bars slamming crown before heading into the game which we won. Left the stadium and drove to a strip club WAY out of the way that ended up being closed. Went back to the hotel and kicked the door in because the key wouldn't work, cops questioned us about it the next morning, had to pay 400$ for it. Successful trip

Oh you were talking states not stadiums...oh well...
