I've been to UC (probably 30 times or so), Toledo, OU, Miami (OH), Louisville, Connecticut, and OSU.

Would like to go to WVU, Oregon (for the oregon/oregon state game), Texas, Florida, and LSU.

I've been to Michigan, Toledo, Kent, Miami OH, and Kentucky x 20ish. I want to go to a game at the Horseshoe, but I'd go anywhere. Football tailgating is always great.

That was uncalled for. Most of our boys are fine gentlemen. Don't judge our entire community by a handful of trash.

This is not a college stadium, but I would like to see a game in the new Dallas Cowboys facility. It is supposed to be fantastic.

When I was young, my parents took me to many cities. Dad was a big baseball fan. In every city we visited, we saw a game. I was in the old Yankee Stadium and the old Cleveland Municipal Park and the old Houston Astrodome, as well as the stadiums in Philadelphia, Detroit, Pittsbugh, and many others. We also saw many football games in these places.

I think the craziest college game I ever saw was about 35 years ago. My dad and one of my students and I drove to Cleveland from Brunswick to see Kent State play Air Force. It was really embarrassing. Not the game, the crowd. The ESPN sports announcer that night said on national TV that Kent State beat Air Force in front of 75,000 empty seats. Yes, there were fewer than 7000 people that showed up for a Div. I college game involving a military academy. I attended the Iggy-Mooney game last year. There were three times that many people there for a high school game.

Truth be told, I'd rather go to Iggy-Mooney than Kent St - Air Force

A&M expanding to 103,000.

That's going to be absolutely crazy. It would probably be #1 on my list.

Nebraska, Penn State, LSU and Alabama would be up there as well.

I've been to Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Ohio State and a few other smaller ones. For their size, UT is overrated while OSU is pretty awesome. Helps when the games I've gone to have been great ones (UM '02, Texas '05, many others).

UT is likely overrated now because the team has stunk for a few years and can't even sell out for big games.

Texas is interesting, haven't been a game in Austin but from what I understand it is an underwhelming experience compared to Okie or aTm. I have been to the Red River Shootout (I refuse to call it by its new PC name) several times and Okie fans are much more in to the experience than Texas fans.

I've been to the 'shoe multiple times, so I probably wouldn't go to any others.

Hope this helps.

Been to all the B1G stadiums except Indiana and Illinois, so those two are tops on my list.

Also on my list for the future:
Rutgers & Maryland (to round out the new B1G)
Oregon
Rose Bowl (won't go there until the Gophers make it, which is to say "never")

Maryland is terrible. Awful stadium, lunatic drunken fans (and not in a good way like LSU) and generally an unpleasant experience.

ND kills people, yet a bunch of people on here want to visit anyway. Don't sell yourself short.

I thought texas was a good experience. But just the coeds and bar scene around campus alone make the trip worth it.

Memorial Stadium (Nebraska) is a good time.

You will have a ton of people inviting you to their tailgate. You can probably get away with going to Lincoln with no money (minus the travel expenses). They feed the hell out of you and you will have an endless supply of drinks. Even if you just stop into a bar/restaurant the night before people throughout are paying for your food and beer.

Probably the nicest and genuinely happy group of fans out there.

Eastern Michigan might have the saddest support for athletics out of all D1 programs. Pretty sure they average like 400 for their men's bball games.
