I'd like to know how many Clemson fans have been to say 8 of the 11 neutral site games.  Just crazy.  Not even mighty NFL would play neutral site conference title games or have multiple neutral site games.

Outside of having to play all of your home games in an alternate stadium for construction or what have you, I wonder what the record is for neutral site games in a season?

Five is conceivable if Texas, Oklahoma, Florida or Georgia scheduled one OOC on a year that they were elite. All four have one built into the Conference slate, then the CCG, then the Final Four.

Check with Bama.

Northwestern plays 6 or 7 neutral site games in Evanston each year.

Check with Bama.
this is something we could easily look up with the bobs database.
as for the game, with the ticket prices, i've thought about going. but then i checked flights and hotel... nope.

I heard flights are the part stopping most people.

I wish he would have it back up, but that's not the case. Yet. Hopefully this offseason he can do it.
As for the question, Bama probably has the record. It has played 4 in many years leading up to this one, including this one.

In 2020, UGA plays Virginia in Atlanta and Florida as usual, plus potentially 3 neutral site post season games, so that is one example.

Texas doesn't host one-off neutral site games so it's unlikely that we'd ever have more than TX-OU at a neutral site during the regular season.  With a CCG, playoff game, and national championship game, then our max potential neutral site games in a season would be 4.

A couple of years ago UCLA gave up a home game to play us in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX.  So I guess you could call that a "neutral site" game but in reality it was just a road game played against UCLA in a stadium not named the Rose Bowl.

R/T for me to get there and back is under $280 from LAX, not counting taxes and fees... Heck, barely over $300 for SNA. 
Honestly, though, I really should have thought this through earlier and scheduled a business trip up there overnight.

I'll be in Cabo for 8 days starting Saturday. I'm pretty sure that's a better destination than Santa Clara right now. I'm also pretty sure I won't be watching football.
