What about it is great? No open flame grills. Cold chicken tenders. Cheap setups. Honest question.

Nothing special. They're easy sure. But nothing special.

Haha. That was the best joke when we went out there (first year Ags were playing SEC). Shite was funny. How about Athens. Going out there for the game in 2019.

Ever actually been there? There’s more to it than tRant makes it out to be.

It's funny how so many people on this board say it's overrated and yet we are always listed at the top of tailgating venues.

Yes I have been there. Not knocking you guy's deal. It's great for you I suppose. To me - it is a joke. But it's not my alum. So what I'm saying shouldn't matter to you.

Athens is the worst. Save your time and money.

How about South Carolina? I've been to all of the west stadiums. None of the east

The babes are wall-to-wall on 11 gorgeous tree-shaded acres.

No one else can claim that.

It’s really not. Been there many times and it wasn’t a bad experience. It just wasn’t anything special about it that really sets it apart from any other tailgating venue.

Tons of talent walking around. To put up with years of shite football, our fans are masters at getting absolutely hammered before and after games. As far as Williams-Brice goes, it is rowdy, even if we suck.

I have been to the Grove once for an AU Ole Miss game. It was a good experience and I see how the Ole Miss fans really enjoy it and they do it up right.

Do people pay for their location or is it a first come, grab your spot type situation?

Ole Miss grad here. The grove is special because of chandeliers, heaping platters of the finest grilled Abner’s chicken fingers, high heels getting stuck in the mud and the walk of the Co-Champions.

It's fun to do once as a bucket list deal. Then you realize how truly overrated it is. Tool bag northern yankees at espn, that arent use to seeing groups of hot chicks, have overblown their wads on the whole experience.

Folks from other sec schools see just as hot, if not hotter, on the quad on any given regular day.

I can see how some people enjoy it when they’ve been going for years and have cultivated relationships with fellow attendees. But, for the most part it’s 10 acres of a congested mess with shitty food, and after a rain, the mud and hay just make it a disaster at times.
