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 was told by some Kentucky fans that it's easier for their fans to get tickets to away games than their home games, but yes, Kentucky basketball fans would travel in droves to the moon if they were playing there

Imagine traveling all those games and wasting all that money to never see a NC since 1980

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



I saw this when I was working in Atlanta once when they opened the season against NC State. Not a long trip but they took over the Georgia Dome.

No one travels better than us for the Cats during basketball season. The Big Blue Mist will descend upon your arena and take it over.

They do travel well. You see a lot of them at Auburn in part because of the vet school arrangement. They will pull for the Tigers during football season, but not when the Cats come to town.

My vote is A&M. They love parades.

Your moral victory won’t help that your team has zero national titles your entire life.

I hate to say it but Florida does not travel well. We have fans all over the world but we just don’t travel in droves. I grew up in Ohio and the only other school that travels as well as top SEC schools is OSU. They may be on the same level as UK basketball. But UF? Kinda sad.

Actually the big3 Florida schools don’t travel well. They say there’s too much other things to do in Florida but that’s just an excuse. UCF might travel better than the Big3. Not kidding.

its only like 150 students or so. They just travel well for basketball because of both the large sidewalk fanbase and like previously mentioned, easier to get tickets to a UK game

Georgia has been the king of traveling since Kirby has taken over.

LSU - Georgia in 2018 was ridiculous. They probably got 35-40k in tiger stadium.

Travel well too. I was in New Orleans traveling to BR that morning and a limo pulled up at a gas station and 6 sexy co-Ed’s hoped out at decked in red and a huge cloud of smoke accompanied them,

Then a few baw hopped out and did shots from s half empty bottle of jack


Awesome fans in person too. And Athens is a hell of a trip. Only thing is barking like s dog just is so cringe worthy

I was at the LSU-Georgia game in 2018 in TS and I was shocked how much red there was.

Attendance figures indicate UK fans travel well for football as well.

True, and they are some of the most astute basketball fans you'll find. Many know a ton about your own team and it's history...and they're good sports, in general.

Oklahoma had a large contingent to follow them on the road last weekend.

Then Oklahoma should really travel well when they come on board. Their mascot is a mobile home.

bullshite.

If LSU travels so well, why did you send unsold tickets from your allotment back to Tuscaloosa? Glad you did, though. I bought 4 of them, resold them on StubHub, and made money.

You used to travel well. I can remember when thousands would show up in Tuscaloosa without tickets, just to be there. You strutted around Bama's campus like you owned the place.

But now to send tickets back?

You've become a fricking embarrassment.
