I noticed a lot of Tigers in LA last weekend and it started me thinking…I know UGA travels very well too….

Tennessee fans travel well.

Even their homes are mobile.

They play a lot of Home and Home series, most of the other teams dont do it nearly as much. Neutral games really suck at drawing large amounts of fans on avg. So with teams electing to do more H&H in the future, we will see more people traveling

Most travel well (except Vandy), but the ones who are winning travel the best.

To be honest, Kentucky basketball could possibly be the best. As a student at Auburn we played Kentucky on a Tuesday night and there were about 2,000 Kentucky fans there. I wondered if these people have jobs. Tuesday night games in the SEC have very few visiting fans unless it's your cross state rival.

I would add Arkansas to this list.

Depends on the sport, you could put the SEC basketball tournament on Mars and UK would still sell it out

No other fanbase travels like the LSU fanbase, in the big 3 sports, except basketball. LSU, UGA, Bama probably the best at traveling for football. UK for basketball. LSU, State, OM, and Arkansas for baseball.

I say Tennessee. At the slightest sign of positive momentum, they show up in droves

UGA does travel very well (almost 50,000 at South Bend and over 50,000 at the Rose Bowl, including those who couldn't get in the game; over 30,000 at Arizona State). Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky (in basketball) do, too.

Granted it was one of their biggest recent games, but Tennessee traveled very well to Kyle Field in 2016 from what I remember

Depends on the city but UGA travels very well. Kentucky basketball is on another level, clearly much smaller venues but still.

Pound for pound I'd think LSU among the Big 6. UGA has a much bigger following with means than LSU, so I'm taking that into consideration.

I assume every SEC school would have great showings depending on the how exotic/fresh the matchup/location is.

From what I've seen, UGA and LSU are probably the best.
