Parking for autos and RV's has become big revenue earners for major football universities. We have been RV'ing at Alabama football games for 17 years. It was free back then and no hookups nearby.
Now, you would be hard pressed to find a space that hasn't been reserved by annual contract. They begin at $375, about three miles from the stadium and most are over $1000/season. One enterprising gentleman has built a privately owned campground with some full hookups and some w/e hookups. We paid $1600 for full hookups for the season. The good part is that you can leave your rig in place all season and we are a mile from the stadium. He only asks that you keep the thermostat at 80 degrees while away.
It is almost impossible to follow your SEC team, on the road, by RV. You will find, in most cases, that you will be stuck miles from the campus, and then, only when you reserve very early.
I know this is off topic, as we are not Buckeyes, but just addressing the increasing difficulty of RV'ing at college football. (I did have a first cousin who coached under Woody Hayes, pre-Clemson).
