Nothing to add except it’s pretty up there.

I’ve only been once and had a great time. The AU fans were actually very friendly and cordial. Fun atmosphere.

It’s great. Good welcoming people and Skybar is legit. I believe they have a “Solo Cup” law on campus

It’s one of the better road trips in the SEC. Good college town and a very underrated game atmosphere. JHS can get very loud. You’ll always have jackasses at any road venue, but by and large the people there are very nice

I went in the 90’s. Auburn hadn’t lost in two seasons. Jamie Howard threw 6 interceptions, 3 of which were returned for touchdowns. I tried to beat up an older gentleman that mouthed off towards me with a piece of 3/4 pvc pipe I found outside the stadium. Haven’t been back. Ask me anything about Auburn. I have fond memories

It's a good trip, one of the best college towns in the nation, and the stadium ambience and traditions are spectacular.

Now if you're seated amidst Auburn fans-- keep a low profile if LSU scores or makes a great play. Their fans can get pretty riled up.

Went in 2018 for the Cole Tracey kick. Best game I've seen in person.

Auburn has an awesome campus and their fans are second to none. Best away trip I've had. Get a lemonade at Toomer's Drugs is my best rec.

Acre is my favorite restaurant. The Hound is also a good spot

Auburn is probably the best SEC town I have ever been to. It is clean and super nice.

Sky bar is a huge entertainment bar.

Food recs: Hamiltons on magnolia on game day. Chances are you’ll run into Charles Barkley in there. Bow and Arrow, and Acre. All will be good atmospheres for Friday night dinner.

Day of game people are typically very friendly. I will be in attendance for that game as well. Really looking forward to it.

I try to never miss the LSU/AU game. I love the Tiger stadium experience and I love our stadium. Always my fave game to attend. Always enjoy drinking with the corndogs before and during the games.

Been 3 times. It’s a big Starkville. Motels are ridiculously priced and nightlife is limited. Tailgating was good but then again I tailgate with LSU fans.

As far as road trips:

1-Alabama
2-UGA
3-USCe
4-Tennessee
5-Arkansas (Fayetteville)
6-Auburn
7-Ole Miss
8-Florida
9-8&4
10-Stark Vegas

After that it really doesn’t matter.

Solid list. So far from the ones I’ve done I’d go

1. Tennessee
2. Arkansas
3. Kentucky
4. A&M
5. Alabama
6. Ms state
7.. Vanderbilt

Knocking Florida and auburn off my list this year.

It is a blast... I hate Auburn, but I had a lot of friends go their and went many times. Better then the damn GUMP fans. It is a college town. Take the school away and its nothing. But, hopefully you will not get to see them roll toomer's corner.. idiots. GEAUX TIGERS !
