We've reached our final stop in the "Home Turf" series, and it's been a blast reading all of the fans' suggestions and recommendations.

In 20 years of covering this league, I've been to many of the eateries and pubs referenced and might even do my top 10 places to dine and/or lounge on the SEC road as a conclusion to this series.

If you're venturing out to an SEC locale for the first time this fall, I would advise you to print out this series and keep it handy. SEC fans know their football, and they also know where to have a good time before and after the games.

Today, we take a look at the biggest city in the league. Nashville truly is a destination city, not to mention a city that has it all.

It's known around the continent for its music, and not just country music. Up and down Second Avenue, you'll be treated to all sorts of live music. If you are a country music fan, this is the mecca. Be sure you take in all the historic sights.

And with it being such a big city, Nashville offers a wide array of excellent dining choices, and many of them aren't far from the Vanderbilt campus.

Speaking of the Vanderbilt campus, make sure you get there early enough on game day to walk through the campus, specifically the grounds around the Commons area. It's gorgeous. Vanderbilt Stadium is also being spruced up this offseason, and second-year coach James Franklin has the West Enders believing.

Show those who need a little help around town by sending your ideas to our mailbag.

Believe me when I say any trip to Nashville is worth the price of admission, and the football's also getting better.
