Which SEC school has the worst roadtrip experience?

I've been to every school outside of Florida, Mizzou, and Kentucky. Honestly have had a good time at each. It's hard to have a bad time on an SEC gameday on a fall Saturday. There are some clear favorites - Athens, Baton Rouge, and Oxford come to mind. But which school has the worst roadtrip/gameday experience?
In my opinion, the worst has to be South Carolina. Columbia is not exactly the most fun place by itself, but the fact that the stadium is off campus and in the middle of a sketchy area, really takes away from what a gameday in the SEC should be. I felt like I was going to a poor man's FAU tailgate. And while I really enjoyed everyone playing Ric Flair's theme song everywhere you went, there's not much else to do except walk around and brownbag a Cubweiser.
What are your thoughts?

I can predict where this one will go.

The off-season threads on the SEC rant have become borderline insufferable.

If anyone says Starkville, they haven't actually been to a gameday there. It's not that bad. I rank it above Tuscaloosa.

Lexington will get it's fair share of detractors. And 90% will be ones who have never been there.

Texas A&M.. BY FAR AND IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE!!
As much as I like to give LSU fans shite, Baton Rogue is a great city to party and was an awesome experience...

I thought Lexington was pretty fun.
My vote is for Starkville

When you go to Athens the toothless thUGA fans throw beer at you and their stadium smells terrible.

Looks like we just found a State alter.

The Junction is a better experience than the Capstone. I encourage anyone who claims to be a Bama fan to explain why I am wrong. My guess is most Alabama fans haven't actually been to a game at BDS.

Everybody knows this is true; they just hate like hell to admit it. I do love the ridiculous piss balloon, "they pushed my grandma" stories tho. (But, we do have some pretty awful posters who ask for shite).

Agreed.. Not a bad place at all.. Columbia though that's suprising

Not because of the way you entered sville, but because of the way you left I'm guessing..

MSU had a pretty cool environment when I went there last year, but it was the biggest game in their history, so I doubt it is usually like that.

Not hating on the Swamp, but the Gainesville PD are just awful for opposing fans to deal with.
