I know it's odd that I've yet to conquer Nebraska as of yet. Young kids have a lot to do with that omission but seeing how my 7 year old son loves watching football and has developed a great understanding of the subtle nuances of the game we'll be traveling to more games in the years to come. Nebraska will be a must come 2016. I'm still coming to terms that Rutgers and Maryland are a part of the Big 10 but they offer such great opportunities for travel to areas of the country we haven't visited as a family that we will make them a priority in the next Big 10 scheduling cycle.
 



Gophers Home: HHH, TCF - season tickets since 2007.

Gophers Away:XXX - none.

Other Games: UCLA v. Stanford 09', CAL v. Stanford 09', Standford v. CAL 10', Florida v. LSU 13'

Bowl Games: Citrus Bowl 15' - Missouri v. Minnesota
 

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)
Other games: UCLA@Cal (2012), Tennesee@South Carolina (2014)


Been to Nashville, El Paso, and Kansas State, California, Tulsa and 52 road games to BiG stadiums. Memorial stadium and HH Metro dome and of course the Bank. Been traveling since the 80's. Will be going to Rutgers, Maryland and Colorado State and probably OSU next year. Of course will go the Rose Bowl soon.
 

Gophers at Home: Memorial Stadium & the Metrodome, too many to say, and TCF Stadium.
Gophers Away - Big Ten: Iowa, Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin
Gophers Away - other: New Mexico State, Middle Tennessee State
Gopher Bowl Games: Rose Bowl vs. UCLA, 1962 - Victory!
Will add the Citrus Bowl, 2015
Other venues: Notre Dame, U of Miami (Old Orange Bowl), USC (Coliseum), Citrus Bowl, UCF,

Dang, my friend, you have been through thick and thin!
