So What Road Trips For You?
Personally the schedule didn't breakout nicely for me...so it looks like only two road trips.

UConn
Wake Forest

UConn fans are a mixed bag...some real tools who do classy things like spray beer at you in your seats and hurl insults...a few are decent enough. Overall, not very welcoming to visiting fans but it is a close enough game from my NY house. On the plus side the private Aero Club lot is perfect to set up a group tailgate. I plan to host 125.

Wake Forest is the easiest road trip out there. The Wake Fans are laid back and will talk to you. The worst I experienced was some drunk old lady calling us Yankees and said we shouldn't have joined her ACC. Tailgating is kinda subdued but setting up and parking close on game day is super easy. Hotels are reasonable but easier to fly into RDU or CLT for better airfares. I plan to host 125.

I am planning on Clemson for sure and will maybe try to hit Marshall as well. Easy trip there and inexpensive.

I'm going to try to go to Dublin for GT-BC. Last season took a lot of shine off the whole affair though.

We have tickets to the VT/Tennessee game in Bristol, thanks to our friend who takes us to the Bristol Night Race. Definitely looking forward to that craziness!

Maybe Georgia Tech. If not other than maybe the South Carolina game next year I don't have any plans for a road trip until the 2018 trip to College Station. Until then our schedule is either places I have already been or places I have absolutely no desire to go to.

I'm Working on Going to the Syracuse game in September and getting family members from an 80 mile radius of there to also show up. Hopefully other Cardinal fans also go. Syracuse is a good place to visit. September still has great weather , winery's , Restaurants and DestiNY for an incredible shopping experence near by the Dome.

RE: So What Road Trips For You?
Went to the Pitt game at SU last year and they were some of the most hospitable fans I've run across after having seen the Panthers play in many places over the last 40 years. Surprising enough after 70+ games between the 2 teams, that was my first trip to Syracuse.

This year I plan to go to the Pitt game in Miami, haven't traveled to see the Panthers in FLA since the 2010 game at USF'

Seriously, the SU fans were very gracious, hospitable, and friendly to us, even during the long downhill walk after the game that we won at the buzzer. Many thanked us for coming, asked if we needed any help or directions. I'd definitely consider a trip back in the future. I won't mention some of the absolutely horrible treatment we've received at other Pitt road games.
