January 14, 201610 yr What are some of the places that you want to see a game at? Can either be just the place for the experience or because your team is playing there.
January 14, 201610 yr Author For me I really want to go to The Game at the big house wearing as much scarlet and grey as I can. I also would like to go to a game at both Death Valleys, a game in Tuscaloosa, and I would really love to go to the OU/ Ohio State game this year, but I don't think I'll be able too.
January 15, 201610 yr I'm with you Grant, I'd like to see a game at the Big House. Wish I could've witnessed the 2011 retro game against Notre Dame. They really need to bring that game back, it was great for college football. If you haven't made the trek to South Bend I would highly suggest it as it is a wonderful place to watch a game.
January 15, 201610 yr It will be a massacre but a couple of buddies and me are planning to go to the UK/Alabama game this fall. Been to Notre Dame and Michigan and that was alot of fun. If I could swing it I would like to see USC in the Coliseum if nothing else for those USC cheerleaders in those nice tight sweaters....lol
January 15, 201610 yr I'd like to go to a game at Army, a game at Navy, and the Army/Navy game at whichever NFL stadium it is played in that particular year.
January 15, 201610 yr We will be at USF/Cincinnati at Nippert. I'm looking forward to seeing what they did with the place. This will be our 5th time going to this road game. This year, I would like to go to UK/Alabama in Tuscaloosa or the UT game in Knoxville, but it all depends on the USF conference schedule, which has not been released, yet. We're going to miss the South Carolina game in CWS, this year. As in 2012, it is opposite the Florida State @ USF game. As with the road games, attendance of the remaining Kentucky home games depends on USF's schedule. We are going to Northern Illinois in 2017 and plan on being in Champagne for the USF/Illinois game in 2018, Austin for USF/Texas in 2020, Atlanta for USF/GT in 2021, and Provo for USF/BYU in 2022.
January 15, 201610 yr My bucket list ... We plan on visiting every one of USF's conference opponent's venue at least once. UC and UCF are done. We may go to Memphis, this year. Tulane is definitely on for 2017. I missed out on Navy in Annapolis last season, but USF plays there again in 2019. Soon, we plan on going back to Notre Dame for a game. When USF played there in 2011, we involved too many family members and were not able to take in the entire game day experience. We want to do that. Other venues I'd like to visit are Bryant–Denny Stadium, Jordan-Hare Stadium (I missed the USF game there in 2007), Sanford Stadium at Georgia, Tiger Stadium at LSU, The Big House, The Horseshoe, Kyle Stadium, The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, The Rose Bowl, Bobby Dodd at Georgia Tech, and Memorial Stadium in Austin. As mentioned in my previous post, 2 of those could bite the dust here in a few years naturally. The others, we're going to have to work at.
January 16, 201610 yr Anywhere in the SEC is a obvious great choice. I will do my usual Ole Miss games. Oh how I can't wait to hit the Grove. I have been to a good many of the SEC venues but 2 I still have never made that I really want to hit are Death Valley and A & M
January 16, 201610 yr Author I'll have to add ND and USC to my list. Shouldn't have left them off. I would like to go to The Rose Bowl Game, but a UCLA game wouldn't be very high on my list. My only issue with USC is that sometimes it appears the atmosphere just isn't as electric as other places on this side of the Mississippi. But on the bucket list none the less.

I have been to a good many of the SEC venues but 2 I still have never made that I really want to hit are Death Valley and A & M I think Death Valley and Bryant-Denny are definitely top places, but the other SEC stadiums I feel like are all about the same. The Grove would be a cool experience, but I don't go to games to tailgate. Just my 2 cents.
January 16, 201610 yr Author I'll also add a night game whiteout at Penn State. Those games look as electric as anywhere else, well at least at kickoff...
January 16, 201610 yr I think Death Valley and Bryant-Denny are definitely top places, but the other SEC stadiums I feel like are all about the same. The Grove would be a cool experience, but I don't go to games to tailgate. Just my 2 cents. I have been to every SEC stadium except A & M, LSU, MO, ARK, Auburn and SC. So a little over half. Bryant Denny was a disappointment but the game I went to in 2013 was not real close and that may have impacted the experience. The tailgate was good but not great. I myself look forward to the tailgate experience as much as the game and I have never experienced anything like the Grove but I am also a Ole Miss fan and Oxford is a easy drive from here in SW KY at 190 miles from my house. So I am biased but admit that Vault Hemingway Stadium itself is nothing special. Tailgating is only as good as the fans you have to tailgate with and that is a further plus at UK and Ole Miss for me thanks to there being the WKY Rebels who have a permanent spot in the Grove. My least favorite SEC venue is Vandy

My least favorite SEC venue is Vandy I was sort of excluding UK and Vandy from my generalization. Haha but while I haven't been to all of these places, to me I think that Neyland, Jordan-Hare, and The Swamp are probably the next class behind Bryant-Denny and DV, but I don't think any of those three look absolutely spectacular compared to Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, LSU, and ND.

None would be bad choices, I think it all comes down to what one is looking for. You are all about the game and the stadiums while I give the tailgate equal billing.
