If you had to choose the most iconic town on college football Saturdays, which would you choose based on the following criteria:
-saturation of the hometown school spirit (visible pride)
-tailgating activities
-alumni back in town
-active and loud marching band
-smaller historic stadium versus modern mega-size
-centrally located campus in-town versus outskirts
-style points for autumnal weather and changing leaves
Preferably under 200K population (small town to small city) and any size college/university.

While easier answers and also from an obvious preference, neither is smaller (92,000 capacity and 102,000 capacity respectively) nor especially historic in nature.

Hard to beat rural Oxford, Mississippi, a town of 24,000 which regularly hosts 64,000 at its Ole Miss football stadium whose oldest sections were built in 1915. The whole town revolves around the university, and especially its football program. Tailgating on The Grove is legendary. Even though the entire county has a population of 53,000, there could be 100,000 at the Grove where gourmet food is served on silver platters with chandeliers hang from metal poles.
