Depends on the time of year. Both are scenic and great drives, but ice and snow doesn't work for me. Wherever there is sweatshirt, jeans, and some leaves changing is great and both have that at the right time.

The bourbon trail is fun did that a few years back when we went to the Kentucky Derby. The Gameday atmosphere at Auburn is as good as our SEC weekends. If you are a nascar fan they are in Talladega the weekend of the Auburn game quick ride from the Montgomery area

Kentucky by far. Keeland, Bourbon trail, horse farms. Lots to see and do before the game and the scenery is beautiful.

100% Kentucky in the fall. Auburn is nice but doesn’t compare to Kentucky in October.

My son and I were going to Auburn until they announced the 11am kickoff. No way we want to do that with team bus arrival around 830am!

So we picked Kentucky because it's already been announced as a night game.

We've been once before in 2007, the 3OT game Less pissed away. The fans and atmosphere were pretty good, but I'm sure Auburn would be better if it was an afternoon or night KO.

Never been to Kentucky but I have been to Auburn.

Stayed in Auburn is not much of a town. We stayed in Montgomery and it doesn't have much either. I will say the folks in Auburn were friendly but it's hard listening to "Wahr day-um Agle" every minute. Jordan-Hare is loud as any stadium I've been in. Auburn is not the "loveliest village on the plains."

Kentucky would be my choice just based on location, scenery, entertainment options, etc.

Schedule says kickoff is still to be determined.
I hope it’s a night game, thinking I’m going to choose that game over Auburn mainly because it seems like there is more to do outside of the game.

I'm pretty sure (without me checking again) that the Kentucky game has been scheduled for the night slot, just not a specific time yet.

I like the little town of Auburn a lot and it’s a good game environment.

My personal preference to attend a game would be Kentucky without question.

Auburn is awesome

Great RV park close
Cool people
Golf
Good restaurants
Laid back town
Awesome stadium that is surprisingly loud

I’ll let you know about Kentucky later this year. We are planning on taking a week long trip hitting up the bourbon trail, horse farms and the Arc

If Auburn was still good I'd say Auburn all day but they suck now so Kentucky has way more to offer outside of the actual game

Much more to do in Kentucky! And depending upon Bengals schedule, you can maybe catch Joe and Jamar on Sunday.
