I've been to Army and the stadium itself is just OK but the campus is really cool and get a guided tour it's worth it. Lots of history, tradition and the setting is really neat.

If we are talking stadiums only here's my list (only ones I've not been to...and in no particular order and I chose on-campus stadiums only)
1. North Texas...I've not seen the new stadium in person
2. Texas State...saw it under construction but not finished
3. East Carolina...looks cool in pics
4. Colorado State...new stadiums always interest me.
5. Akron...it's all new too and looks cool on TV
6. Marshall
7. BYU...although I kind of consider them a P5 school
8. Houston...another new stadium
9. Navy...but kind of for nostalgia more than the stadium itself.
10. Never been to App St, Ga So, Ga St, Coastal, NMSU or Idaho so I'd like to see those places to see how we stack up with our conference mates.

Now for Locale...Hawaii

FCS - I'd like to see some of the Ivy League stadiums...Harvard and Yale in particular.

Here's a list of Some stadiums I've seen or been to a game with some commentary:
1. Utah...really neat stadium with cool views.
2. Utah St...ho hum stadium but cool views.
3. FIU...lower bowl is just nothing special...if they ever double deck it, it could be cool but not right now.
4. Army...as I said before cool setting and stadium is nice just nothing special.
5. ULM...west side is super tall and lots of potential but needs some refurbishment, east side kind of high school.
6. ULL...went before endzone was completed...it has a big time stadium feel as it could be enlarged into a monster but it needed some refurbishment at the time.
7. USA...Ladd Peebles is functional but not by much...bad neighborhood and NOT on campus.
8. La Tech...big high school stadium.
9. USM...I like how this stadium is on top of the field...tight and probably really loud with a packed house.
10. Liberty Bowl...big but kind of boring.
11. MTSU...not bad but nothing special
12. Troy...I like this stadium a lot. It'll be intimidating once they finish their end zone project.
13. NIU...much like La Tech...big high school stadium....and COLD!
14. Ole Miss...pretty impressive but it is the SEC...it should be.
15. Arkansas...see Ole Miss
16. Oklahoma...big and loud...just a big time feel but the stadium was built to pack fans in...not overly unique.
17. Kansas...metal horseshoe with a track...Yuck.
18. Ohio State...saw it years ago before some of the end zone expansion and updates but even then this is an ICONIC stadium...lots of seats and lots of character. The Greco-Roman columns outside the stadium are really cool.
19. Cincinnati very unique stadium in how it was squeezed into campus but not overly impressive otherwise.
20. Texas A&M...the old stadium was gargantuan and intimidating, I can only imagine what the new one is like.
21. Texas Tech...I like the overall design of the stadium but it was smaller than I expected.
22. Virginia Tech...I went before the end zone updates....very impressive stadium, crowd and beautiful setting. I can imagine now it is even more impressive.
23. LSU...saw it on a non-game day...once again before some more recent updates...It was a very imposing stadium....kind of spooky up on the top row!!!
24. Tulsa...it was kind of disappointing when I saw it and then they decrease the size!

I'd never have guessed it would've been possible for A&M to turn Kyle Field into something gorgeous. It was so damn ugly. Went there for the NMSU@A&M game last year and was blown away. It really hurts to admit that but there it is.
