re: What is your favorite Non-SEC Stadium/Trip

A bad Southern Miss team actually played them well, too.

For a regular season away game , I will put Notre Dame at the top of my list. I was at the 1998 game. Kevin Faulk had a career day but we lost in a shootout. The people were extremely nice and it was a great trip other than the outcome of the game. We were parting with Paul Hornung in a nightclub the night before the game.

The Red River shootout is pretty cool seeing the stadium half burnt orange half crimson. Rose Bowl is awesome as well.

Norman is cool on game day. Picture a less trashy version of Tuscaloosa. Stillwater is pretty fun if it’s a big game. I’ve also heard Lubbock is wild on game days especially if they’re playing UT

Yeah they did. I also remember Nebraska playing in Hattiesburg too, maybe 2003 season? Interesting how those larger schools played all the way in Hattiesburg. I don’t think USM has hosted a top 25 the last couple of years.

My stadium experience is limited.
I went to Tech. Traffic is basically non-existent. The band plays Neck before the game. Tech is basically the polar opposite of LSU, which would be refreshing: almost all air ball on offense, lol what's a defense (although defense does have its moments).
There are some decent places to eat in Ruston, and you won't have obnoxious jackasses watching the game obviously. And I think they're even laxing up their beer rules for tailgating, which is nice for such an old-school, fire-and-brimstone, hokey Baptist area. Also, the games are fun, haters be darned. There's good energy in the place, especially with a crowd there for an important game.
Oh, and there's easy parking, and the campus is pretty and not too big to be an inconvenience to walk around.

I highly recommend Lambeau Field. Visited Oklahoma on a random weekday and it seemed like it'd be great for a game. BYU's stadium is amazing but I doubt Provo is a great tailgating atmosphere.

Provo seems awesome. I really was hoping the LSU BYU game that was pushed out of Houston would have moved up there. It would have been a very unique away game. We would’ve won 30-0 regardless of where they played.

Seeing a game in Madison, Wisconsin is a blast (of cold air). A few years ago I went to a Northwestern-UW game where it snowed 7 inches the night before. It was really cold that day and like an idiot I didn't bring anything to sit on the icy benches. Couldn't feel my bum for hours. But they had cheese curds and hot chocolate to make it bearable at least.
Best part was seeing the student section throw snowballs at their own cheerleaders which forced them over to the other side of the stadium. And when UW lost the game on a horrible call by the ref, everyone else was chucking snowballs at the refs and celebrating Northwestern players.

For tradition the top two I ever did were ND (went to several and all great)
Texas a&m (went before SEC) has awesome traditions
Washington was great atmosphere until got in stadium. Great view of water and some sound trapped by overhang but seemed sterile inside. Outside was beautiful and fun.

Virginia Tech's stadium atmosphere and Tallahassee for Miami-FSU was something to see.

Athens followed by Knoxville

Evidently some don't understand the Non-SEC part.
Was bummed when AZ State and TCU were scratched years back.
I'd go back to Green Bay. Visited Notre Dame in 2015 and would love to go there. Having just visited in May, I'm looking forward to the trip to Austin in 2019. Also, the trip to UCLA in a few years. Not sure if that one will be in the Rose Bowl or the Coliseum, but either way, I'm there.
Wish list - Vegas Bowl.

1. Lambeau, even though we lost.
2. Autzen Stadium, University of Oregon. Saw them beat the hell out of Nevada. They allow you to leave the stadium during the game and grab a beer at the adjacent training facility.
3. Husky Stadium, UW. Saw them play Colorado in the Rick Neuheisel Bowl. Beautiful campus and stadium.
4. Sanford Stadium, UGA. Saw LSU lose there and saw UGA beat Bama in a thriller. Beautiful women, campus, and college town. What's not to like.
5. Army-Navy, various locations. I saw the game in Philly and in Baltimore. The game itself deserves a #1 spot but both times I went it was cold as hell. If I had to choose I would see it in Baltimore as you're close to Fells Point and the Inner Harbor.

You’re right!
I know they hosted a few SEC schools recently. I think they hosted a ranked State when DAK was there and maybe Vandy or Kentucky, but definitely not ranked.

One of the most history rich stadiums I’ve ever been in. It was beautiful inside.
Around the outside of the stadium is somewhat boring, but cool that one side sits next to people’s actual backyards.
We had a great time, despite the loss.

Have been to a lot of stadiums listed. I enjoyed Autzen a lot, mostly due to its smaller size and sight lines. I'm over the mega stadiums and what they encompass. Went with a friend who is a UT alum, summited Mt St Helen, went wine area south of Portland, beer scene, parking was great with short bus ride to stadium, and the cheerleaders....woooo. Of course UT got embarrassed that game, speed differential was eye opening.

Washington was my favorite road trip and I have made a bunch.
for a south Louisiana boy, I tell you what, I loved Seattle. Gorgeous part of the country and fresh crab, halibut and cod daily was damn good eatin.
