The Big House and Notre Dame Stadium. Autzen would be cool. I went to the Horsehoe last year and that was great. The women were ugly and wore too many clothes though...
Not necessarily a stadium per se but the Army Navy game would be on my list of games to go to.

Since I most likely wouldn't care about the teams in the game, I would want nice scenery

Notre Dame. Have always wanted to see Touchdown Jesus! Rose Bowl would be the other.
I've been to the loudest recorded stadium in college football at Eugene, Oregon when MSU played up there. However, I thought LSU and Florida were as loud as Autzen.
"Autzen is known for its crowd noise. Due to the stadium's relatively small footprint, the fans are very close to the action, and the field is sunken. These factors contribute to the loudness of the stadium even though it is smaller than other 'noise comparable' stadiums.[52] According to many in the Pac-12, from Oregon's resurgence in the mid-1990s until the most recent expansion in 2002, Autzen was even louder because the noise reverberated all the way up the stadium and bounced back down to the field—the so-called "Autzen bounce." Oregon officials say that any future expansions will trap more noise.[53]"
"On October 27, 2007, during a 24–17 victory against the USC Trojans, a then-record crowd of 59,277 fans was recorded at 127.2 decibels. A similarly loud 31–27 upset of third-ranked Michigan in 2003 prompted Michigan Daily columnist J. Brady McCollough to write[54]"
"A view of the field during the 2007 USC game. The new press box on the south side, built in 2002, is visible to the left
In 2006, a Sporting News columnist named Autzen the most intimidating college football stadium in the nation."

So all that noise is what started our downfall decades ago?Notre Dame. Have always wanted to see Touchdown Jesus! Rose Bowl would be the other.

I haven't seen a game at these places. But on trips, I stopped and looked at them.
The Horseshoe in Columbus OH. It's a beautiful stadium. Nice blend of keeping of the old architecture but upgraded with modern amenities. Not to mention the good games there. Also the sidelines are small. So the seats are on top of the field.
Doak...FSU stadium. Beautiful stadium, nice facade. The sideline seating is a great view. Atmosphere in town is cool.

Would love to go to Colorado and see Ralphie run out. LSU at night should be a bucket list, but I'm too skeered I might not make it out in one piece. Army-Navy would be interesting. I enjoyed when Navy played us years ago and they had this RB named Napolean McCallum who was a dude.
California Memorial Stadium
University of California, Berkeley
Husky Stadium - Located on the shores of Lake Washington, this 70,138-seat stadium offers views of the Seattle skyline, Mount Rainier, and two mountain ranges.

Speaking of LSU at night, was our game with them in 2018 at night? Anyways that stadium is a dump. They were decent to us. The atmosphere is mid. However Fitz threw an Int to start the game and they never trailed. Maybe a game v Bama would be a more intense environment.
Autzen stadium reminded me of a newer cleaner Liberty bowl. However the Oregon fans were impressive in their support of their school. However once again the atmosphere was mid. That probably had to do with the blow out game.

Funny that I don't really have any SEC stadiums on that list anyway. I did visit Ohio Stadium a few years ago for the OSU-Penn State game. Stadium and area was awesome, but the tailgating was a 4 year old's birthday party compared to the SEC. Other ones I would love to see are Army-Navy, Washington, Rose Bowl, Notre Dame and Harvard (just for the history), pretty much any of them out West.
went to a couple games at Va Tech the past few years and even though the team wasn't any good the atmosphere was awesome. Would recommend to anyone.
I like where you are going with this. I would add CU Boulder (once Coach Slime is gone) or CSU. Some of the FCS teams would be cool…Montana, Montana State, NDSU, UND.
Naval Academy at West Point playing MS State. - probably not happening in my lifetime.
Notre Dame
Michigan

I went and watched Notre Dame/Michigan in 2010 in South Bend. Awesome experience. The stadium is very old school. I assume its the same - old school scoreboard, no video screens etc. Seats are very tight but standing most of game. Fans were great. I had been to Notre Dame several times before but never for a football game. I would definitely recommend it.
They got the new green turf in the sports complex
You around the Wharf area?
I’m next door to it
Not to brag, but I think I've been to a lot of stadiums (stadia? Stadii?) and can't think of any additional ones I would put on a bucket list. But I kind of want to go back and see some of the improvements. For example, I haven't seen Darrell Royal stadium since they lowered the field and added more seats. I'm not going this year, but I will be back doing.
The best out of conference experience I had was Texas-OU, which is now in conference. Cotton Bowl Stadium combined with The Texas State Fair is quite the event.
I saw #1 Notre Dame vs. #2 Michigan in The BIG House in 1989. Rocket Ismail returned 2 kicks for TDs. We didn't know the Stadium is sunk down in the ground, so we drove around a little wondering where it was. Doesn't look like much from the outside
