That is close to my list as well, I think.  I might swap NC for PA.  Wyoming would get a thought or three.
Yup I almost put NC, lots of history and the coast and then the Smoky Mountains alongside Tennessee.

I've never been to Philadelphia so that's the main reason PA is on my list.  And Wyoming would be up there for me as well.

Georgia is interesting to me as well, plenty of history there.

Eh. I've visited a number of states on that list for work trips, and wouldn't voluntarily go again if I wasn't paid to.

Savannah is kind of neat, it's a bit over sold as such now because it's touristy, but it's worth a visit I think.  There is a new armor museum near Columbus, GA I'd like to see in whatever they call Fort Benning today.  The path of Sherman's march to Atlanta is interesting for buffs even though there weren't many larger battles and the smaller sites are just regular places now.  I've been told the Okeefenokee is worth a visit, never been.

Coastal snobbery in full effect. ;)

LOL. 

I really want to visit Idaho. It's one on the list that I'd visit voluntarily. I don't know much about North Dakota, but I would think there's some interesting topography there that might be interesting. Montana didn't make the list, but I absolutely want to go check that out too. 

Even Texas is on the list of places I've been but would like more time to visit, although it is arguable whether it qualifies a defense against "coastal snobbery" because it actually has a coast--even though I have no interest in visiting the coastal areas at all. Your coast sucks. 

But having grown up in Illinois and gone to school in Indiana... I've seen plenty of farmland. It's really not very interesting to visit. Illinois is a very uninteresting state with the exception of Chicago.

Mountain States are just that. Just go to Wyoming (Jackson, Cody) and be done with them.

In no order, my list:

Wyoming
Maine
Tennessee
Texas
Louisiana
Florida
Georgia
North Carolina
Hawaii
Massachusetts
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I often think of national parks I'd like to visit.  Zion is one of my favorites.  I'd like to go back soonish and do the Utah park circle tour.

Did Tennessee reduce their capacity at some point? I seem to recall theirs being bigger than the Horseshoe.

I guess this is a question for @Drew4UTk ?

The 25 biggest college football stadiums in the country | NCAA.com

8 over 100K

Interesting.  The Cotton Bowl's capacity is 92,100 so it would slot in at 10th, just behind Georgia and just ahead of UCLA/Rose Bowl.
