What is so great about Nashville as a SEC town? I mean Vandy's campus is nice enough looking, until you walk into that stadium. There are high school stadiums in Texas with bigger capacity. What's so good it makes up for that?
It may seem crazy, but if I am going to see friends in Jackson, I would rather get there via Murfreesboro.
Theres more to Nashville than Vandys football stadium.
If youve ever spent time on Broadway during the SEC basketball tournament, or any given Saturday evening, youd rethink that post.
Nashville is easily the SECs best city.
LW, my older sister's first husband was from Nashville. So, I have been there more than my fair share. But since I would rather have a root canal without novocaine than hear country music, Broadway isn't my cup of tea. I might even prefer Gainesville as long as I can still dodge the flying cups of urine.
Now, the town that I liked the last time I was there was Baton Rouge. They have a few good blues clubs, but I really like their idea of seafood. A little warmer and humid than I was ready for, but I really enjoyed it. And that is an electric place to catch a game.
Nashville has a lot to offer. Just not college football.
Knoxville hands down best SEC town.
When I worked for BellSouth, business took me to the Bat Building in downtown Nashville about every other month. Fell in love with the town. It was Atlanta, minus the traffic and crappy airport.
For as much as I loathe UGA, Athens is a great college town too. Watched the Braves win the World Series at a bar on Broad Street back in 1995. Good times.
