With all the excitement for our most prestigious bowl game in quite a while, especially in terms of the impressive number of us traveling to Orlando...

I was hoping to put together a decent list (as comprehensive as possible) of all the major college football venues at which Gopherhole members have attended football games (whether the Gophers were playing or not) - to see how much ground we've covered, collectively. I have recently fallen in love with going to different places for games and want to know where we've all been (mostly so I can ask your advice in case I want to go there in the future :cool: ). Let's keep this football-only, for simplicity's sake.

Fans of non-Gopher teams: feel free to participate! And post from the perspective of your team if you like (instead of Gopher home, away, etc.). Traveling champions, now is your time to show off!

If there's enough of a response, I'll tally up some stats on where we've been, so using the format below will help me a bunch.

I guess I'll get this started:

MrGopher:
Gopher Home games: Metrodome, TCF Bank Stadium
Gopher Away games: Northwestern (2009), Southern California (2011), New Mexico State (2013), Indiana (2013)
Gopher Bowl games: Citrus Bowl (Mizzou, 2015)

Gopher Away Games: Nebraska (2012), NW (2013), Indiana (2013), Michigan (2014), Illinois (2014), Iowa (multiple)

Other Games: UNLV (1999); Hawaii (multiple); Virginia Tech (multiple); Iowa St (multiple); I also have to add Marshall @ Miami (OH) 2001(?)...not a major venue, but the QB matchup that day was Byron Leftwich vs. Ben Roethlisberger. That was pretty cool.
