Best Roadtrip in GFC?

[FMPanther]

What is the best place to go for a road game in the GFC? You can use any criteria you'd like:

atmosphere
tradition
city/town
proximity
etc.....

I have been to Western Illinois and that is it. I need some help.

I really liked the hospitality we got when we went to SMS a few years back. That and their band was pretty impressive to boot. The stadium was kind of cookie cutter, but if that team ever gets really good again, it could really rock.

Sorry... Missouri State.

I would say that Youngstown is the best from what I have heard. If they are having a good year, their tailgaiting will be second to none. Their fans are really nice and its a great atmosphere for football.

Western is good..........limited areas to tailgate; Missouri State isn't too bad............more of a basketball town and the fans there will admit to it; Illinois State is fun and the town had a lot of things to do but the fans aren't as much to party with; Western Kentucky was a good time and the fans are fun to tailgate with but another basketball school; Youngstown is by far the best roadtrip with the second best tailgating crowd ( just below us) in the GFC!! Luther, Cap'n and myself spent a good part of an afternoon in their parking lots and had a super time!

WKU....Very nice town in Bowling Green. Long road trip, but great place to go. Hard to get use to everyone sitting on one side of the stadium.

I'm seriously considering making the trip to Bowling Green for this year's game. Can anyone give me information on best places to stay, get alcoholic beverages and tailgate in the area? I need to convice The Boss that this will be a fun trip. We're already planning trips to Macomb and Normal
