There's plenty of FBS schools (Temple, South Florida, San Diego State, Pitt, Georgia State, UMass) that play in NFL stadiums, and that's not including neutral-site game possibilities. No FBS program is willingly going to play at Tennessee State just to have an NFL stadium experience.
Miami has also always played in an NFL stadium. They travel a long way from home to play in the Dolphins stadium.
Cheers!

Mostly true. When the Dolphins left for Joe Robbie, the Hurricanes continued to play at the Orange Bowl until they moved in 2008.

I actually wouldn't be averse to playing at an occasional FCS stadium IF we also got P5 schools to play us at home. Well, we'll get the rare P5 school, but OSU or Michigan would never play at our place.
Go get Northwestern and call it a day.
They won't play us anymore after we strolled into their home, packed their place 60/40 with Huskie fans, and smacked them right in the mouth. Put the fear of god in the Illini too

Could this be the next UAB?
