    I've been to 5 on this list......and I have no disagreements with those who were put on the list.

    How many have you been to?

    Somebody publishes that list every year. It hardly ever changes, Boise State is new to the list, no doubt more a reflection of their record than the awesomeness of the stadium.

    I think that Michie Stadium at West Point should be on that list. Great place to see a ball game.

    IU
    Purdue
    Cotton Bowl

    At least, that's all I can remember. :lol:

    Watched the North Texas game there on 21-October-2000

    Taught a two week class at Micron, Boise which gave me a weekend with nothing better to do on Tennessee Bama week. While the Tennessee vs Alabama game was being played, I was sitting in the Broncos' stadium watching Boise State vs North Texas. I left early in the 4th quarter when I was assured that North Texas wouldn't make a come back. The score was something like 60 - 0. Cindy was using the Nextel Walkie Talkie feature to give me Tennessee Bama updates. Tennessee won 20-10

    See the Boise State game with newly made friends at Micron and watch the Bama game on tape the next weekend. Back then, not all games were broadcast nationally. I was not going to get the Tennessee vs Bama game there. Some Pac10 game was on if memory serves.
