Scouting Report

With the LSU Tigers and the Tennessee Volunteers as two of the teams rounding out the top three on this list, we now enter into SEC exclusive territory. And much like the Washington Huskies, Tennessee’s staple for tailgating is hitting the water. Numerous Tennessee fans set up their sailgate on a boat on the Tennessee River.

The Vol Navy is one of the most famous traditions in tailgating and the landscape surrounding Neyland Stadium is one of the most beautiful of any campus. The University of Tennessee is encompassed by a sea of orange that fills up the nearly 103,000 seat stadium.
