Anyone ever been to Columbia, SC?

Off campus is weird. Plus you have paid tailgating spots from my experience.

If you're a student, or young enough the bar scene is cool. It's pretty out there, too.

I went once and the game ended in a tie - that should give you an idea of how long ago it was. One thing I remember is the hotel advertised that they were within walking distance of the stadium. It was a loooong walk.

I also remember that after the game, the Hooters there over spiced our wings to the point that they were almost inedible. We were drunk and acting up so we deserved it, I guess.

They kicked a lot of people out for having booze in the stands.

The fans and experience were just okay.

Columbia's OK. Not my favorite SEC town. Think Auburn without all the atmosphere. Tickets should be easy to come by for that bloodletting.

We went last time LSU played in Columbia and had a great time. People were wonderful during tailgating and the stadium is really nice.

Some friends and I went to see the Tigers there a few years ago. We stayed in Atlanta and rode the LSU Alumni bus to the game and back.

We tailgated with the Tiger Pimp Nation which was interesting - I don't know if that group is still around and didn't know quite what to make of it since I don't drink anymore. (For that matter, there are my LSU drinking days and my post LSU drinking days: 2 entirely different perspectives on LSU football games that I could write a book about.)

LSU won the game. The trip to Columbia was otherwise unremarkable, but I'm glad I went since I'm trying to visit all of the away sites before I go.

I've been to all of the SEC venues except Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and, of course, Missouri. If you ever get an opportunity to go to Knoxville to see the Tigers play there, do it. It is a great place, very nice folks, Neyland Stadium sits right on the Tennessee River. All that orange. It's quite a sight. Some of the fans tailgating- or whatever they call it - on their boats.

Been there, little 5 points is on a decline but prolly no worse than tigerland. With the fair being there parking would be strange as I always recall parking on the fair grounds.
Stadium is not centrally located to anything.
Trip requires local transportation and game day transportation.

On a side note, got into a bar brawl after gamecock fans overheard us talking about how great Todd Walker was in college after he turned a DP in an ACLS game on the tv.

I liked it. Nice campus.
