my favorite is alumni field in storrs connecticut home of the uconn huskies. its in my dreams. 60k. blue seats, hot cheerleaders. its between a small college town and a big college campus just off a fresh paven highway. kegs and eggs everywhere in tailgates. blue cups rain down from the heavens like rain on a cloudy day. it has a jail at the bottom of it liek the old vet phili stadium. in that are yarders i argue with and i'm the only one with keys to the doors.

I have been to probably over 25 different college stadiums. Michie at West Point was still my favorite place to see a game. Amazing experience.

Michigan. We tail gaited in a lumberyard a block or so from the stadium. The outside of the stadium was recently renovated, they did a nice job matching the brick. It was hard to tell where the campus was in relation to the stadium. Inside was not very nice, and all I thought about was how few exits were available if an emergency occurred.
That is one thing I like about the Rent. I think the Ct fire dept would have a fit with all the people that were jammed into Michigan stadium that day. The fans were OK.
Sorry it was the only college campus we visited and I did not care for it.

We have been to all the bowl games except Detroit.

Hard to beat Neyland (Tennessee V Alabama) or Williams-Brice (Cocks Vs Georgia).

I was at the USC-Clemson game in Columbia last year. Probably best gameday environment I've been at.

Been almost every stadium worth going too in the SEC, except LSU which I am dying to go to. Also, went to Oklahoma, Colorado, Michigan, ND, and Northwestern.

Best I have been to was Bryant Denny(Bama) and Sanford Stadium(UGA). ND was awesome too. Just a notch below though.

Great place to see a game. The whole day experience with the parade in the morning. Especially nice during the foliage.

USF, Rutgers (pre expansion), BC, Temple, Cuse, Army, GT. I have walked through Franklin Field at UNC but that was before a bball game at the Dean Dome. I've seen Minnesota's stadium as well.

Best game atmosphere of all those would be GT, but it honestly was not that much different than the Rent. They just did a little better with their coordinated cheers and they also kicked our asses.

I don't have a bucket list yet as we don't truly have a conference. I may be heading to Tennessee depending on how things go. If we head to the ACC I will put Clemson high on the list. I can convince the wife to make a trip to Miami. If we (gulp) end up in the B1G I'll definitely attend PSU and Mich next time around, as well as Minnesota since I have family there.

Mine are (all games against UConn):

1. The Big House - cool atmosphere all around Ann Arbor (got in a few days early)
2. Notre Dame - spent the weekend in Chicago, rented a car and drove to South Bend for the game early so that we could walk around campus a bit. Very cool, friendly fans
3. Army - really cool atmosphere, beautiful setting overlooking the valley from the upper deck. Campus tradition was awesome



4. BC - campus filled with drunk students yelling at UConn fans as soon as we got off the T and walked onto campus. One drunk kid threw a beer cup at a older woman who was wearing a UConn jersey. Stadium was small and not any restrooms in the upper areas behind the end zone that we were sitting.

Army, Virginia, Ohio University, Temple, Syracuse, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Michigan, & West Virginia. Also went to every bowl game thus far.

Best Overall Experience- Notre Dame
Best Setting- Army
Nicest Fans- Virginia

Tennessee is definitely on my list for roadtrips for 2016. Wish i had some other OOC games to plan for in the meantime. I'll probably only be able to make Temple again this year for a road game

Penn State - every year since '85. Best games were vs ND in Holtz's heyday and vs Nebraska in mid 2000's. (Rushed the field after the win - really cool)
Army
Michigan -vs UConn
BC - vs UConn
Vandy - vs UConn
Hofstra - vs UConn
UMass - vs UConn
Syracuse - vs UConn
Navy
Car Care Bowl vs Wake

I think that's it. My grandparents have season tix for PSU so I've been lucky to go. The seats are in a great spot but the actual seating arrangement stinks as it's tighter than the Michigan seats.

Army is the most beautiful setting for a game.

Worst was Syracuse. (Not counting the FCS stadiums)

I have 2 sons...one lives in South Bend, In and one in Athens, Ga. Have been to quite a few games at both stadiums and unless you've been in that atmosphere, it's hard to describe. If I had to pick, I'd say I like Georgia slightly better. Of course, my all time favorite is my UMass team playing at McGuirk!!!! Okay, I threw that one in just to give you guys fodder!!
