That LSU team in 2019 was stacked, they won the National title. Burrow set a bunch of QB records that year, they were virtually unstoppable. As for tickets, it's usually students and family get priority first, but after a few days, if a certain number hasn't been reached, it's open to the public. So teams that don't have a strong fanbase or pretty much suck, they often get their stadium 'hijacked' by visiting team.

UGA vs Florida is one of the biggest rivalries

You guys should go to a UGA v Florida game. Held at a neutral site in Jacksonville. Dubbed “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”!

The UGA-Notre Dame game was a confluence of at least two factors if I remember correctly. The first was that Georgia had not played ND (one of the bluebloods of college football) since the 1980 National Championship game so fans were excited to travel to Indiana. The second was that Hurricane Irma was threatening to make landfall in Georgia so many people evacuated and decided to make a trip of it. Apparently UGA fans also took over a Chicago Cubs baseball game or two while in the area.

Add to this ND was coming off of a 4-8 season and nearly fired Brian Kelly in the offseason, so ND fans were expecting a blowout loss. It was the perfect confluence of events…

Us Georgia fans would love to have you! But be forewarned, the Florida Gators are a pretty big rival. Georgia travels really well and both of those games they showed were years in which they played in the National Championship game. In fact, when heading to Notre Dame, Georgia fans were turning down offers around $5,000 from Delta Airlines to take a later flight because they overbooked the flights. There's a video on KZread filmed from the crowd of the Georgia fans there singing the fight song which includes the line 'to hell with [insert opposing team name]'. Notre Dame is a Catholic school so their stadium DJ tried playing music to drown them out and it still didn't work.

That 2019 LSU team is highly regarded as one of the best college football teams of all time. I recommend watching the 2019 Alabama vs LSU football game it was crazy. All of those players are in the NFL on both of those teams.

Many Georgia fans made a whole weekend out of going to Chicago, then driving the 95 miles to Notre Dame for the game, but they also made it a monster sports weekend. Legendary retired Georgia coach, Vince Dooley, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Chicago Cubs baseball game on Friday night- the U-G-A! chants took over that stadium, as the Bulldog fans took in the sights at Wrigley Field. Then the Chicago Bears played the Atlanta Falcons (professional team from Georgia) on Sunday in Chicago. Georgia and Notre Dame rarely ever play each other - the last time before then was 1980, when UGA beat them for the National Championship

Not only do Georgia fans travel far, but there are tons of Georgia fans living in each state. That goes for most of the big SEC teams. Military stations might have something to do with it

Dawg fans are the best. They go insane for UGA.

They are great fans and they are very hospitable.

While yes, the away team is allocated tickets for the visiting team section, just like a normal EFL team would, the difference is that resale of the tickets is perfectly allowed. Any other tickets not grabbed by season ticket holders are permitted to be bought by anyone regardless of who they support, so while there is a visiting section at college football games, it doesn't mean you have to sit there. These types of situations where a visiting team's fans take over a stadium are usually when a team that is terrible is playing against a team that is either really good, or has an extremely loyal fanbase. Nebraska and Georgia are examples of really loyal fanbases. Alabama and LSU were examples of teams that were in contention for National Championships those particular years. Vanderbilt is an example of a team that is historically very bad at Football.

You have to keep some things in mind.... -1 Most of these big time football schools, which are doing the takeover have alumni and fans all over the country who don't live in their schools state or find it hard to get tickets to games. Much easier to see your team on the road especially if the opposing team sucks. -2 there is a huge resale market for tickets. Students will go, but others may willingly give up tickets if the team sucks. At most schools, student tickets are the only allocated tickets and that's usually reserved to upper classmen and a lottery system... -3 if you can, get to Ohio State/Michigan. OLDEST and most ruckus rivalry game to this day. It's why it is just refered to as "The Game". There is no better...

My brother went to UGA and there fans are WILD and yes they do travel. LSU fans are die hard as well. You guys are going to have so much fun coming to the games and tailgating which they take just as serious as the games.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers were dominant in the 70s and 90s, fielding one of the greatest teams of all time in the 90s. We have 5 National Championships. Although we've fizzled out a bit in the 10s and 20s, we still hold the record for most consecutive sellout home games in history with like 330+, going back to like the 60s. And we're known to have the nicest and most welcoming fans, even when losing. We'll invite the opposing fans to tailgating, partying the weekend before, after the game and the next day. Colorado on the other hand... it used to get VIOLENT. Mild riots, violence, flipping cars out of rage. We don't get to play them very often anymore though.

Gooooooooo Biiiiigggggg Redddddd!

Also, the distance that Ohio State went to play Cal was 2415 miles. No driving unless you have a week or so.

One thing to keep in mind is most of the major universities have alumni and fans spread across the country. So, the entire visiting crowd isn't traveling solely from the state where the university is. Yes, there is usually a large number coming from that general region, but many of them are coming in from other large cities too where it may be just a short drive or flight.

Notre Dame is in South Bend Indiana. About an hour and a half's drive from Chicago. Even though it's in another state, Chicago has defacto adopted Notre Dame as one of it's team's. There's a HUGE Irish Catholic population in Chicago, and a lot of graduates of the University end up moving to Chicago. Many of the local Football products end up playing there as well. They've played quite a few games in Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears over the years.

To be fair, they could have picked almost any SEC team playing in Vanderbilt. That happens 4 or 5 times a year there.

One of the famous quotes about Notre Dame Stadium comes from the movie Rudy where the character of coach Dan Divine says "No one - and I mean, no one - comes into our house and pushes us around." So it's kind of funny to see Georgia fans take it over like that. It's wild too, because Notre Dame Stadium is very much the kind of college football hallowed ground that earns that kind of quote. That would be not at all unlike most of Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge being taken over by opposing fans.

The Alabama and Auburn game is the best rivalry in sports

Colorado football has a different dynamic this year than it ever has had. Coach Sanders (yes, Prime Time Deion) has changed the program. They won 1 game last year and in his first game as HC, week one of 2023, the Buffaloes beat TCU. The Horned Frogs were in the national championship game this past season.

Nebraska CORNHUSKERS are one of the winningest programs in college football history. They won 3 national championships and played in 6 national championship games from 1990-2000. They were the original Alabama from 1970-2000 They have a national fan base that travels well

"The original Alabama"? Really? Not a fan of Bama but c'mon. Bama has won 6 titles and played in 8 championship games in 10 years, including 7 playoff appearances with a record of 6-1 in semifinal games. The only time they've lost in the semifinals was 2014. Nebraska is one of the winning-est programs and was great under Tom, but to compare them to Bama?🤦‍♂ Not to mention Bama was Bama in the 60's & 70's when Bear Bryant was there winning 6 titles in 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, and 1979. Ohio State would have a better argument of being "the original Alabama". Woody Hayes won national titles in 1954, 1957, 1961 and 1970. Keep in mind there were consensus national titles and non-consensus national titles back then.

FYI Alabama/Auburn - that’s the big Iron Bowl rivalry game, and it will be sold out. You better get tickets as soon as you can, and expect them to be more expensive than usual.

DAZ your new team should definitely be UNC Tar Heels!!! Football and basketball!

As a lifelong Notre Dame fan, I can assure you that ND fans are there. Every one of their home games are sold out. I live in California and went to a recent Stanford/Notre Dame game, and the stadium was about 3/4 full of Irish fans. And there are sections. All the students sit in one section near the band and generally one side of the stadium is where the visiting team fans sit.

Stanford MSU rose bowl had specific allocations for Stanford Fans. You had to buy season tickets for the next year. Multiple MSU fans bought Stanford season tickets for the only purpose of being able to go to The Rose Bowl.

I know this isn’t a stadium takeover, but Wisconsin fans traveling and drinking bars out of beer is legendary.

AUBURN's game is a good choice to go to, that's a good and fun environment and a cool stadium, take a look around the campus if you because its just right there outside the stadium and really pretty.

I live close to Nashville and there’s never been a time where Vanderbilt has ever been good at football. They are pretty good at baseball though. They don’t have much of a football fan base.

To drive from Atlanta, GA to Durham, NC it will take approximately 5 hours and 45 minutes

I think you'd really enjoy a game at Doak Campbell (Florida State), Death Valley (LSU), Athens (UGA), Bryant-Denney (Bama) and probably at Clemson, or really most of the schools around the southeastern U.S. Not that you wouldn't enjoy Ohio State, Michigan, UCLA or USC, Texas or Oklahoma, but football is king down here, and the hospitality is off the charts. Oh, and Atlanta to the N. Carolina border is closer than you think. The mountains are pretty close by, and gorgeous in the fall.

That LSU team set records for offense and won the National Championship. They weren't going to be denied and they were absolutely one of the best teams to ever win a title.

You got the basic idea with ticket sales here. In college football there's an allotment reserved for students, then there's whoever buys season tickets, but then after that anybody can just buy the remaining tickets

Oregon at Stanford is regularly a home away from home.

There are a lot of people who move from the mid west to California and Florida. That's why there are that many fans.

No Notre Dame home game is ever going to have more visiting fans than home fans. Notre Dame is big-time and has its own TV contract with a major network.

Teams like Vanderbilt (SEC) and Duke (ACC) are kind of weak sister schools in their respective conferences because they have much higher academic standards (which makes it harder to recruit players) and smaller allocation of funds to the athletic programs. As a result, bigger and better teams like Georgia, LSU, and Alabama (which is not even in the same conference as Duke) are able to bring a massive traveling fan base and dominate those team's stadiums. Of course because it's much easier to field a really good basketball team (all you need are 11 players as opposed to about 100 for football) both Vandy and certainly Duke are often basketball powerhouses.

that 2019 LSU beat 7 top 10 teams, AND the preaseason #1, #2, #3, and #4 teams of that season. undefeated 15-0, heisman winner, belitnikoff winner. unreal.

This is pretty common when you cant get a hot ticket for home. I grew up in Athens, GA and I considering going to see them play Kentucky last year in Lexington, KY which is less than 2 hours from where I currently live and tickets were about $175-200. I could have gone to any other KY game for around $50. Lexington KY is about a 7-8 hr drive from Athens, GA.

The pitt panthers...anyway, these two schools have a met 105 times dating back to 1895. The game is refered to as The Backyard Brawl and is the 14th oldest rivalry in the US. GO PITT

Atlanta to Auburn is very easy an hour 30 to two hours. Use to make the drive all the time when I went to auburn. War Eagle!

A lot of big colleges and universities have national followers as well. So there's always a group of fans in a given part of the U.S. There are alumni all across the States. Some of these games are announced years in advance, so fans have time to prepare. Y'all should try to visit and big high school rival game the night before. That atmosphere can get raucous as well.

One game you guys should take a look at the Red River Shootout (Oklahoma vs Texas) game for the atmosphere. Every year it's played at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas in the middle of the State Fair grounds of Texas. The stadium is just about halfway between the two campuses and it's a very easy drive for both sides. The tickets are split down the 50 yard line. Texas on one side. OU on the other. The insanity of that game is also the fact that it's literally in the middle of a fair that draws thousands daily for a month. And just throw in another 95000 people where half hate the other half.

I know for the Texas/OU "red river shootout" they do their best to split the fans down the 50 yard line but there still some who mix in together.

Go with the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia and Florida are each other’s biggest rivals. They play every year at a neutral site. Same spot every year. Same conference and same division as well so you guys could have fun with that.

Yoooo DAZ be a fkn Notre Dame fan 🔥🔥💯💯✊😤

Schools like Vanderbilt and Duke don't have a very strong tradition in football and they usually aren't very good, so naturally there's an enthusiasm gap whenever one of the bluebloods comes to play at a school where football takes a backseat to baseball or basketball respectively. On the flip side, the college football programs that are contenders year in and year out become nationally recognized brands with fans all over the country. You won't have to search very hard to find Alabama and Ohio State fans in any area where college football is even slightly relevant to the culture. Whenever you see one of those fanbases take over a stadium, you have to ask yourself how many of them are locals.

SEC Football just means more. It’s just different man.

To Daz's point they do bus trips where you're allowed to drink and go to an away stadium. A road trip essentially. Side note Burrow went down with a non contract injury yesterday which is usually not a good sign. Even as a fan of an opposing team (The Ravens) it's never good to hear. Losing a star to injury affects attendence home or away. The channel is awesome and I share it in my sports groups whenever I can. You guys be good. See ya on the next one.

You could say Georgia travels well. Love UGA the dog.

Other high end programs are Oregon, Texas A&M, Utah, Virginia Tech, Auburn Michigan St, Tennessee, Oklahoma St , Washington and Wisconsin

That 2019 LSU team was the best college team ever.

Not that you're complaining but thank Oxford students for introducing SOCCER, which was proudly accepted in America.

Rivalry games people will definitely travel

LSU had the chiefs running back in Edwards-Helaire too that year. Cant remember if JJ was on the team too but my intuition says yes. I dont want to look it up and pretend I know.

Bad teams don't sell tickets so there are generally a lot for visiting fans to buy. What then happens is the price of the tickets goes up and the home team fans will sell their tickets to make money. It gets really bad when a top 10 team plays a really bad team that is really close.

In American sports you don't get allocation. You have your season ticket holders and that's it, everything else is first come first serve. The only difference in College Football and Basketball you have a student section that only students of the university can sit in.

Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Born in Norfolk, Nebraska. Our team is the Nebraska Cornhuskers but pretty much go by huskers. Fun fact, back in the the early 1900’s I think the team was called the Nebraska Bugeaters I’m guessing because of the dust bowl because their were no crops to eat so a lot of people had to live off bugs. I’m glad they changed the name.
