Bookies.com ranked SEC schools by their pregame experiences. Kentucky is No. 12, ahead of only Arkansas and Vanderbilt. Before I share the list, here are a few factors in the algorithm:

- Tailgating: The ability to park and enjoy a crisp fall day with a beverage and grill
- Entertainment Around Stadium: A vibrant bar and restaurant scene within walking distance to your seat
- Family Sentiment: Is the area safe and entertaining for kids and those with kids?
