I saw that loss in person as well. My first trip to Knoxville. Never saw so much orange in all my life.

Only Knoxville, year 2000. Awful day that was. Lost 20-10.

I was at that game also. Miserable. Game was awful, stadium absolutely sucks with seats that are just wide enough for a 4-year-old to sit in, and some of the most rude, obnoxious fans I've ever been around.

I've only been to handful of away/neutral site games, but here are my road trips:
Ole Miss in Oxford 1997 - thought we were going to die in a tornado just to watch the typical Dubose 3-ring circus on the field, but at least we won
UT in Knoxville 2000 - see above, had to endure one of the most pitiful offensive showings I've ever seen while hearing Deliverance music playing in my head the whole time
MSU in Starkvegas 2009 - defensive gem, Ingram and Julio put on a show with 2 long TDs on the way to Saban's first NC at Bama
Music City Bowl (vs. Minnesota) in Nashville 2004 - miserable loss, miserable end to a miserable season, Spencer Pennington overthrows wide open Ty Prothro in the EZ on what should have been game winner
Va. Tech in ATL 2013 - struggled offensively but Christion Jones put on a special teams clinic to get the W

Of course, I've been to Legion Field when AU was home team but I don't count those.

i went to the dump that was miss state in the 92 season. watched us play vandy in nashville in 2001. i went to several games in the ga dome and also visited jerry world for the um game. i absolutely hated that stadium. i lost count of the games i went to at legion field. most of the big games were played here during my hs and college days (80s-early 90s)

i have been to the benz several times for atlanta united games, but no football yet.

outside of the times we play in atlanta, i am pretty much done with attending games in person.

They HAVE improved the Dump formerly known as Scott Field in Starkvegas. The bells are still irritating but they've modernized it.

btw - their b-ball facility is called the Hump, so we used to refer to their stadiums as the Dump and the Hump. Seriously.

Wow....what a game that was. I would think you must be one of a very few living Bama fans left that were actually there. What a treasured memory that must be. I’m curious, about how many fans from Alabama made that trip and did we have the RV army back then?

My Dad came home early on Thursday and told me to pack. I didn't know where we were going until we got on the Delta out of Atlanta. As I remember, there was not much space to park an RV outside of that stadium.

On campus
Knoxville, Auburn, Athens

Off campus
Super Dome (vs Ohio State)
Georgia Dome (Florida 2x SEC Championship, West Virginia, Washington Playoff)
Mercedes Benz (FSU)

TideMom2Boys · Aug 23, 2018

Just Atlanta for 2 SEC Championship games. I do have a goal to visit the other venues. We just need to wait until the kids are older. Right now my oldest plays football on Saturdays. So we will have to wait till at least next year. Since he can start playing middle school football next year and that is during the week.

CrmznApklps · Aug 23, 2018

Hmmm let's see...

Miss State (the night they say Coach Stallings made up his mind to leave)
Neyland twice
Sugar Bowl (for the Utah kerfuffle)
LSU
The Rose Bowl (for the Natty vs tejas)

2007 Oxford (South End Zone Club seats from my boss, had a good time in spite of that one OM fan telling me exactly what Alabama could do to themselves, everyone else was very hospitable)

2009 Starkville (Dead center of faculty/staff section--old roommate of mine from Bama is on faculty at MSU, they were to pleased with my yelling "Hello Heisman!" after Mark Ingram's 75 yard TD run up the gut).

2002 Baton Rouge (absolute nose bleed, but free, seats. Stadium was mostly Bama fans early in the second half as I recall. I'm blanking on the name of the coach Bama beat that night).

Missed the 2015 game here in Athens. Would have been fun, but my wife was working that day and I was taking care of my then 17 month old son. (Plus, it was nice watching that game from the warm, dry comfort of my living room in light of the weather that day).

jabcmb · Aug 23, 2018

A bunch. Southwest Louisiana and watching Bama kick 6 field goals sounds boring, but Lafayette was a fun place to visit.
Twice to Penn State for memorable games and the best fans I’ve ever been around. Texas A&M fans are a close second to them. Welcoming and respectful.

MattinBama · Aug 24, 2018

Just Legion Field for me sadly. An Iron Bowl and seeing us lose to Southern Miss.

I did get to see my first and only live purse snatching there. So there’s that.

Should’ve been to the SEC Championship in Atlanta in 99 but my dad took my mom even though she doesn’t care that much about football.

South Carolina x2, Duke, georgia dome, and of course bryant denny.

saturdaysarebet · Aug 25, 2018

Alabama plays at South Carolina next year. That's one place I haven't been to for a game.

Going to the Grove in a few weeks. I’m pumped. Any tips?

Yeah...

lower your expectations it’s not as great as Bama or LSU in terms of party and tailgating.

Park at Oxford high and take the bus over. It’s better than fighting for places closer

The stadium is... meh at best, there are worse stadiums.

Idk if Ole Miss fans have always been overly obnoxious or it’s just because I went in 2016 that they were that way, but they were probably the most obnoxious fans I’ve ever been around next to UGA fans for a ball game.

Single hottest game ever. Went there for the first win with hurts at QB. Players were cramping, fans were talking put left and right. It is downright nasty. Stadium isn't big enough top get winds through it, no overhangs for shade.

Hope it's cloudy
