Ranking the Road Trips for Auburn Football This Year

No. 1 – Athens

It’s kind of obvious, but there’s nothing like spending a Saturday in Athens for the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

In a USA Today article that ranked every SEC football stadium, Sanford Stadium got a 9-out-of-10 for every category, which included atmosphere, design, history and city.

Unlike Tuscaloosa, Athens is a very clean town that is fairly easy to get in and out of on a college football Saturday.

The tailgating scene is one of the best in college football. It’s more spread out than you’ll see at Oxford, but it’s all close enough that you can walk around and see all the different tailgates.

Sanford Stadium packs in a solid 92,746 seats into a beautiful place to watch a football game. As much as I hate them, there aren’t many places in college football that are better for watching a game.

Auburn has a really good chance of pulling off the upset in Athens this year, and you don’t want to miss that in person.

The Bulldogs are in a bit of a transition year with a new head coach and a new quarterback. If Auburn’s offense gets rolling they could come out of Athens with a huge upset.

Win or lose, there’s nothing like going to an Auburn-Georgia game. I’ve been to several at Auburn and a few in Athens, and both are great experiences. However, it’s a lot more fun when we win.

With a short slate of road games this year, Auburn fans still have the chance to experience some of the best venues in college football.
