Washington would be a good one, perhaps as much for the scenery as the football, depending.  West Point.  I was at UNC for 4+ years and never attended a football game.  I was disinterested at that time, and rather busy.

I've been to a graduation at Ohio State but never a football game.  My buddy keeps saying "Any time, it's no problem!". 

I missed a chance to see a night game at Penn State, still regret that decision, but I was not feeling chipper at the time.

Kentucky has a fairly nice venue, not much around it and not much tailgating.  Stadium is nice.  I may get to a Vandy game this year.  Have been around the stadium on a game day before, but just touring.  Was there for a wedding of all things (in Nashville, I forget who they were playing now).

The wedding involved a young man who was a recipient of the scholarship a few years earlier.  He turned out pretty well.

So, the wife has a "cousin" in Washington state, so I was looking at a trip up there this fall, and was thinking about seeing a UDubb game, but now she is talking about France, AGAIN.

Geesh.  NO football in France anywhere.  Maybe in Pisa.

They have plenty of futbol in France, though.  When I was living/working in Nantes, I got to see their local team play a couple of times and it was a lot of fun.  They were in the B league at the time but were pretty good, recently relegated down I think, at that point.

The prices for the UGA-ND game have gone up, not down.

Cheapest ticket on SH right now is $699.  When they first came out they were under $500.

End zone crappy seat for $700? :96: :73: ???

Heh, I've lived in Pittsburgh for over a decade now, and still haven't been to a Pitt game.  I always say I'm going to, and then I just decide I'd rather watch games on tv.  Less than a month after I moved here, in September 2006, MSU played at Pitt.  I had tickets, firends were coming in, and I got a nasty stomach virus, and spent from about 10pm Friday through 10pm Saturday glued to the bathroom floor, and missed it.  Granted that isn't a first for a college football weekend, but the first time it happened before I had a drop of beer in me.

We were set to go to the Pitt-UVa game a couple years ago, and people changed their minds last second.  It was a noon game, MSU played at night, and the early slate was awful, so it all lined up, we were down at a bar by the stadium, and the momentum swung to stay there and watch games on tv.

The neat thing about Ole Miss is how many escorts they had waiting for you at the game.

Were you a 5 star recruit?

I hate to say it, but Kyle Field in College Station is a really good place to watch a football game.

And if any of you tell my i s c & a aggie wife I said that, I'll deny it straight away.

No, only four.  But I'm good looking and sing well in the shower.

I wholeheartedly agree.  Been there twice.

Another vote for Kyle Field.  My loose top 3 home stadium rankings would include Kyle Field, Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge) and depending on my mood at the time (ND, Clemson, Florida)*
* Excludes tailgating/campus environments otherwise Ole Miss would replace Florida on my list.

Top 3 Wants:
1) Happy Valley for a Night White Out (and not have to worry about traffic; I went to the 99 thumping OSU received, and just fumed in the car for 4 extra hours we sat in Traffic trying to flee from there. Seriously, it just over 5 hours to drive there and over 9 hours to get home.)
2) Lincoln, Nebraska (For an OU game. Did I forget the 'S'? *insert devil smiley here*)
3) Baton Rouge for an LSU night game.

Been to:
1) Ohio Stadium - Season Ticket holder since '93
2) Lane Stadium - VT Night Game  versus OSU was amazing! I endorse adding this University to our conference on that night alone.
3) Rose Bowl - 96 season, Jake the Snake who?

Bowls
Fiesta Bowl - Sun Devil Stadium '03 win, University of Phoenix Stadium '06 loss (Guess which I like more)
Sugar Bowl -  '07 loss
Jack Murphy Stadium - '93 Holiday Bowl vs. BYU closer game than it should have been
Raymond James - '00 Outback bowl (not the year cooper lost his job)

Conference Stadiums (listed mostly in the order I visited them)
1)M*ch stadium - pre-renovation. '93 took a buddy and his 13 year old cousin, we were getting drubbed 21-0 in the 2nd quarter, and the 13 year old decides instead of cheering for scores he would stand up and cheer for 1st downs. He got booed the 1st time, heckled the 2nd time, and had his skull cracked open by a beer bottle the 3rd time. Spent the remainder of the game in the 1st aid room listening to shut out.  :96:
2)Dyche Stadium - Before Northwestern renamed it Ryan Field
3)Memorial Stadium - Illinois, did this one twice
4)MetroDome - Old Minnesota place, and a really long drive.
5)Happy Valley - see above about traffic.
6)Ross-Ade - Purdue (Columbus West)
7)Memorial Stadium, IN - (Columbus West part duex,) going again this year.
8)Kinnick Stadium - '00 Pink locker room a non-factor.
9)Spartan Stadium, MSU - For a John L. Smith thumping.

Other
Mountaineer Field - Morgantown Season Opener '98 Big Win for the Bucks.
Paul Brown Stadium - '02 nail biter versus Bearcats, and an OSU Spring Game
Cleveland Browns Stadium - OSU vs. Toledo

Until Kids...I tried to do 1 road trip a year, now it's kinda if I can drum up enough interests. (Disposable income is now budgeted, making spur of the moment decisions a lot less likely.)
Who let me Adult? I can't Adult

1/2. Would like to see LSU or Tennessee in their stadiums, or a big night game in Madison or Iowa City.

3. Most impressive recent trips are @Auburn, @Penn State white out, & @Notre Dame, and to a lesser extent @ Virginia Tech
