I usually catch a game every year during Tennessee's bye week at a town/stadium I’ve never visited before. What’re the best places yall have been to? So far my favorite has been Athens, then Baton Rouge for the fantastic food. My girlfriend lives in Austin so I plan on catching a game there more than likely this year. I’m more so looking at the town itself and game day experience in this topic.

I've been to Fayetteville, AR, a couple of times. It's beautiful in the fall.

Starkville is like no other place in the SEC.

To understand it you must experience it.


(Seriously though, they might have the best baseball atmosphere in the conference. Football…. Not so much.)

Gameday experience wasn't that great, but I was fairly young when we went to the game. I'd recommend taking the trip if you can afford it. Gotta experience every atmosphere in the SEC at least once, right?

Ignoring my own Mizzou bias, Chapel Hill, Fayetteville, and Fort Collins all stand out amongst the ones I’ve visited.

On the flip side Champaign-Urbana and Stillwater are the worst college towns I’ve visited.

Auburn has always been my favorite. Starkville is nice too.
Want to check out Fayetteville

If you do want to go to a nicer restaurant, I’d suggest making reservations early & avoiding Georgia/F1 weekend as prices will be insane. Thankfully, the two ACL weekends don’t conflict with a home game.

Auburn. There's something about it you can't quite put your finger on. It's like that girl you're strangely attracted to that your friends keep telling you is a soft five but you like her anyway.
