No. 3 – Tuscaloosa

A lot of rankings put Tuscaloosa in the top 10 for all of college football campuses in the world, but I’m not a huge fan.

I’m not just saying that because I graduated from Auburn and write for an Auburn fan website, I honestly hate going to Tuscaloosa.

The city is gross and crowded, and the traffic is terrible at all times of the year, but even more so during college football season.

I’ve gone to several Alabama games in Tuscaloosa and each time I couldn’t wait to get out of that town.

As far as the stadium itself goes, Bryant-Denny Stadium is a great place to watch a game. They also have had several renovations the past couple of years raising capacity to 101,821.

The only reason Tuscaloosa isn’t number four is because its’ the Iron Bowl. Any time you have a chance to go to an Iron Bowl game it’s a great experience.

Tickets will be hard to come by in this one, especially for Auburn fans. If you’re lucky enough to get one, then you have to go.

This might not be the best year to go Tuscaloosa as an Auburn fan as the Crimson Tide will be a heavy favorite, and you don’t want to be in that stadium as an Auburn fan if Alabama wins.

The rivalry is real – on both sides – and Alabama fans can get a little nasty, especially when alcohol is involved.

Again, Bryant-Denny Stadium is a great place to watch a football game, and if you have the chance to go to an Iron Bowl, you go. Just be aware, you’re in enemy territory and a terrible town.
