RE: Which stadiums have you been to for CFB games? Where would you like to go?

In both cases, it's just a matter of the history, not the stadium itself. Probably how I feel about ND, too, and to some extent, Michigan and Ohio State.
The Rose Bowl is absolutely spectacular. It's not just the stadium alone - it's the surrounding mountains and setting. To me, it's to college football fans what visiting Wrigley Field and Fenway Park are to baseball fans. That one is a MUST.
As much as I hate to admit it, the Big House is extremely impressive, too. I would actually put it over Notre Dame in terms of the overall experience (albeit that's probably because Ann Arbor is an incredible college town compared to South Bend despite Notre Dame's beautiful campus). I haven't been to the Shoe.
With the Rose Bowl its the setting, the parties before, the feel of the event. Sight lines are not that great. But its just a great environment.
Yeah, I go for all that stuff, as well. The attraction of attending games for me, even Memphis games, is much more about the experience, than it is the final score.
It's just difficult to know that in advance, unless you talk to those who have been there before.
