as far as Rutgers is concerned, the only place for that game is the Meadowlands....

Worse than walking around with the "wierdos" in new orleans? And it actually is that close from PH WestGate Towers its literally 2 blocks away. With my tailgate crew I would not feel uncomfortable at all.

Eta ok so i am guessing from the comments that the stadium is not on UNLV campus so I stand corrected

I'd kill to do a home and home with UCLA.

Easy, high profile wins and a dream trip to the Rose Bowl for Tiger fans (and to Tiger Stadium for Bruins fans).

I did the Vegas trip in 1990 for Basketball. Shaq's last season and on Thanksgiving weekend.
Had a great time... but football ?

I don't think you could compile a shittier list of away games if you tried. If you want to go on vacation to these places, go. Not worth wasting a football game on.

How bout the big house, camp randal, the other death valley, doak walker, memorial, the coliseum?

I should have made myself more clear. I thought it went without saying that, of course, All of us would love to have a home-and-home "elite" matchup (Michigan, Texas, USC, FSU, OhioSt, etc)...but those "elite" OOC matchups are rare, for obvious reasons. We will only see LSU schedule an elite OOC about once every five years or so.

The list I compiled in the OP are the more realistic mid-level OOC opponents (that also happen to be cool cities/destinations). Typically, we're going to play a mid-level OOC team once per season (someone on the level of Arizona, Louisville, Washington, NorthCarolina, Maryland, TexasTech, OregonSt, etc). The point being we are going to see many more of those "mid-level" games than we are the "elite" games.

Make no mistake...I certainly would not rather see LSU at Rutgers than LSU at Michigan....But I think there's a lot more possibilities and it's a lot more realistic to look at the "mid-level" possible OOC games. And as far as merely traveling there, that's beside the point... I want to see LSU football combined with a cool/unique destination (exactly as we did with Seattle).
