People rave about Oxford. It’s ok, but definitely nothing special for sure.
Oxford is awesome on non-game weekends. Can’t handle the huge crowds well, but it’s a cool town. Great food and bar hopping on the square when every place isn’t at capacity is really fun.

That Clemson
Clemson was an awesome road trip and Greenville is very cool. Baton Rouge may have more hotels but it’s a $hithole. Give me the “smaller” college towns any day.

We went to the Clemson game last year, in the middle of nowhere. Nothing there but the college. We had to stay 50 minutes outside, rented small house coz very limited hotels left for 4 people. Not impressed with stadium either, nothing special about it, they were piping in noise. Not big selection of good restaurants or bars close to stadium. Some of the concessions were closed, they ran out of food, almost like they weren't prepared. We won't go there again.

Southaven really isnt a bad option...nice lil town. Stayed there a while back...pretty much right in between Memphis and Oxford. Likely my first choice had I been able to go this weekend...Right off the interstate too 
ETA: Nm, I didnt realize Oxford was that far from Southaven. To the OP's point, Oxford's kinda in the middle of nowhere

Last game I attended in person it took 2 gypsy cabs (first left me on side of a road) and over an hour to get from the stadium back to L'Auberge.
That second 'cab' I was intentionally leaving bits of hair and fingernail in the backseat because he kept making frantic calls to someone in either arabic/farsi/etc.. and thought at some point he would find it easier to murder me than return me to my hotel.

Just saw some air bnbs — nice; we’ve rented through the company before — for 700 per night. Not you have two or three couples for 3/3 that’s not so unreasonable. Still saw one that was $1700 per night.
Stupid.
I am coming back to BR for the Bama game. We are in an airbnb. There are a number of choices in the $2k/night range. We aren't paying that. Just saying it happens everywhere for big games. We came last year for the Florida game and prices were much lower. The opponent affects prices.

Oxford is a nice little town, but coming from someone that rarely complains about "over-priced", it is exceptionally over-priced. Food, bars, lodging, all awful. Still tough to find a place for a visitor on a big game day.
One of our four kids went to OM and graduated from there (we love her just the same) in 2018. Both my wife, myself and the other three kids went to LSU just sayin'. That span that she was there was in the middle of the things getting out of control price-wise boom.
Funny as soon as the graduation date came out, I booked rooms at The Inn at Ole Miss and got a normal rate. Just inside of a year before graduation, I got an email from the manager that said, we see you booked this room at x rate, normally we don't book that far in advance and it should be y rate (basically double, if I recall correctly), but we are going to honor it. Just letting you know how nice we are.
I remember going in 1989 when it was still a sleepy outpost for the first time we had played there in nearly 40 years and LSU won a game they were supposed to lose. One of the worst SEC visiting game experiences of my life, and I am def an under the radar visiting fan. Drove up on game day and had to stay in a cabin at Sardis lake - closest accomodation I could get.

Driest piece of chicken ever created. Even after getting fcked up on the square, it was almost inedible

My point was and I did not state it .. prices have come down. Because no one is wanting to pay their crazy asd prices. $700 for a 3/3 is reasonable if coming with friends.

Vrbo near the stadium. Auburn used to have a motel right next to campus that was awesome.

Guy on SRant saying they’ve seen them upward of $3500. Another one said $8k. One night.
frick that.
frick that.

This goes on in Baton Rouge also. Before I started staying with friends, I would book a complete season of home games using the Hilton app. The same room at either the Hampton Inn on College or Reiger would vary wildly depending on who LSU was playing. McNeese would be about $125 where Bama would be well over twice that.

wild world we live in where we are bragging about our baton rouge accomodations! i get what you are saying though.

Only a few SEC schools are in large cities.

I’m tired of having to go to these podunk “cities” where you either have to pay $1400 for a Hampton Inn or have to stay 40 miles away.
Then don’t go
