I know Michigan, Northwestern, and South Carolina are not. Any others?

Using an NFL stadium doesn't count- these are university run stadiums that aren't located on the main part of campus, but several blocks away

I'm both curious and bored.

Autzen Stadium in Oregon is off campus, not too far away but still not on main campus

NC State's football stadium and basketball arena are several miles away from campus at/next to the State fairgrounds. Really close to the vet school campus.

West/Southwest Raleigh is basically littered with random parts of campus. Its kinda weird. I didnt realize how big the school was until I went there and it took me a while to realize where everything was

Yeah, I was just about to add NC State to the list. Reminds me of the Michigan set-up, where all the athletics venues pretty much have their own campus

Pretty sure Autzen Stadium isn't on Oregon's campus but a piece of land they bought separately to build it on.

You are correct. It's literally across the fence from USC

West Virginia's stadium is next to their medical center, not the main campus. It's not far, though.

I know Colorado State isn't exactly major but their stadium is currently a bit of a drive from campus.

They recently broke ground on a new on campus stadium though. LINK

UNLV.

It does have great people watching when you go to a game and go down Boulder Highway. That is about the only entertaining thing about a UNLV football game.

Baylor only recently have a stadium on campus. Thank God.

Floyd Casey sucked balls. My teammates and I drew more fans to our high school playoff games there than Baylor did.

No it's really close to one side of campus. They basically just added it to the edge of campus. I mean it's technically 'on campus', but where it is wasn't a part of campus before hand.

ETA: Baylor's campus is much smaller than say A&M or Texas, so I consider it to be really close compared to all the other buildings on campus.
