Favorite Away Game Venue

[leodisflowers]

Top 3 for me are:

Ohio State - Pretty good people and had a fantastic time tailgating. I feel like they are actually rooting for us to get back to a good product.
Texas A&M - A pretty loud stadium and the one time I went we won and got to drink the tears of all of the Aggies. At the time, I was working in Houston and most of my coworkers were Ags.
Oklahoma State - Cool stadium setup and pretty fun Gameday

Have been to PSU twice, and that's a great town. Their fans were alot of fun at the tailgates and in the famous chug line. Some 70 year old woman called me a p**sy because I wasn't going to chug the stout I was drinking. I crumbled under peer pressure and she was the fist one to high five me on the way through the line haha.

 

[king_kong_]

big house - it's cool for about 10 minutes

purdue - what a sh*thole. would go back in summer when all the dweebs are gone to play golf, maybe

northwestern - I liked it fine, but always an 11am kick so you're boozing w the bums on the CTA

CU - beer line was a disaster just like Frost's Huskers in the 2nd half

 

[RealTucoSalamanca]

Notre Dame - I don't care what anyone says, the history, nostalgia and the campus are pretty cool.

Oklahoma - I was lucky enough to have a sideline pass for a game in the 1990's. Got to talk with Good Ole Jim Ross from WWE fame and meet Toby Keith. Being on the sidelines for a major college game is the most insane thing ever. I can't explain it, but the speed of the game and the sheer size of the players, from that level is just so ridiculous. Watching on TV or from the stands simply doesn't do it justice.

 

[tstaup]

tOSU, OK, & ND. Out of those, I'd only put tOSU on the same plane as DONU.

Hoping Aviva is right up there too

Hands down, Virginia Tech. Went there in 2009 the year after they'd been in Lincoln. I can't count the people who actually thanked our group for being there and who talked about the great time they'd had in Lincoln the previous year. We could not buy a drink in the bars and there was no need to go to a restaurant -- we were invited to multiple tailgates, where we ate and drank all weekend. Even after VT won, they talked about how NU was the better team. I've never been treated anywhere near as well.

I've only been to 2 away games OU and iowa. OU any day. Hawkeye stadium was blah and their fans thought I was an idiot for bringing a 6 month old to a game. Bastards made me buy a ticket for her too!!

 

[SuperBigFan]

Illinois: Bar scene before the game is outstanding and if you are a student there I can see why they don't attend the games.

Purdue: Breakfast club is amazing!

Michigan is the worst by far

Minny was lame

NW was not bad

OU is pretty cool.

Wisconsin was fun.

Also, let me say, because I know a lot of Husker fans get mad. I have never once been treated poorly at a road game.

How was Lincoln

 

[SuperBigFan]

How was Lincoln

I still think that Lincoln is the best but I am biased because I love O street.

Barry's has added a new level of fun, I could not even imagine that place being that awesome back when I was at NU...The rooftop is a game changer.

Railyard is a great addition.

 

[Redscarlet]

Seattle Washington Husky stadium.. It was very cool coming and leaving the stadium on a boat…

Boulder it another neat venue seeing the mountains and getting high at halftime.

South Bend also with the nostalgia of the campus..

Oregon also ranks at the top of list too..

Places I've been -

UCLA - Stadium is ******, but there was no one there and had good tickets. Tailgate was fun, but it was a corporate one
USC - In the hood, and their fans were ********. Stadium was old, but had good views
Husky Stadium - Cool views, but their fans were asses as well, but I sat in the student section
CU - Stadium in beautiful, but also had tires slashed. **** their fans
KU - Meh. No one there, beat them every time
KSU - I actually kind of like their stadium. Not a bad setup and somewhat loud. Loved beating them and watching their fans cry
Mizzou - I don't think I've ever sat in their stands. Always on the lawn and had a pretty good time. Good bar scene
OU - Super fun tailgating, stadium noise is not what you would think it could be. Good people
OSU - Spoke about
Texas - Was a really fun stadium and had a great time with their fans.
A&M - Spoke about
Tech - Was hot as **** when I went there as a kid. Fun game, but we were really good.
Baylor - Went in a torrential downpour, and don't remember the stadium that well
Iowa St - Jack Trice is laughable, but the big field was fun to tailgate at
Penn St. - Went in 2001 and had a bad experience. Stadium is monster, but hated the people
Maryland - No one went to the game and they served beer. Was perfect for my daughters first game
tOSU - Spoke to
Wisconsin - Knew some folks from there, so it was fine. Jump around is really cool
NW - Small little stadium, was dominated by Husker fans
Iowa - Not actually a bad stadium and didn't have too bad a of time there
Orange Bowl - Saw us beat Tenn. The Hilton we stayed at ran out of beer because the Tenn and NU folk partied so hard.
Alamo Bowl - Love this bowl. Went multiple times, fun
Holiday Bowl - Lived in SD. Went twice. Stadium is a ******** and didn't have as much fun.
Rose Bowl - Horrible view to watch us get our teeth kicked in
Jerry World - Awesome. Even in a loss to Tejas, had a ball
Fresno - Was hot as ****, but the people were cool

Places I've been for non Husker games:

Autzen - My boss when I lived in Portland was a Ducks alum. Went to a number of games and they were sweet.
Reiser - Oregon St. - My wife is an alum. Place was dead every time we went and seemed to rain, Stadium was meh
Death Valley - So fun. My favorite place outside of Memorial to watch a game
Arizona St - Just a party atmosphere where no one cared about football

Purdue is a **** hole? You lost your cred with this one.

 

[Pennsyhusker_rivals246774]

Virginia Tech was amazing! Great fans. I also liked South Bend and Seattle.

Non-NU Stadium report:

Arizona Stadium in Tucson - I think we play there in the not too distant future. Wife went to grad school there and we had season tickets, only because they were practically giving them away...and that was when U of A was pretty good. Stadium itself is nothing special, tailgating was pretty sweet surprisingly ... but the view inside the stadium was top tier, especially the student section, if you know what I mean. Been to many CU/NU games in Boulder, those games were a friendly backyard game of touch football compared to the hate between the U of A and ASU fanbases....genuine bad blood.

The Rose Bowl located in Pasadena with it's beautiful views of the San Gabriel Mountains in the Arroyo Seco. No obstructed views, just an iconic old stadium with so much history. Unlike the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with it's seedy surroundings the Rose Bowl is as safe a venue as you can go to.

I look forward to Nebraska playing in Pasadena against UCLA and will always be leery of attending games at the coliseum against USC. If you like to go on road trips the game against UCLA should always be on your bucket list.

You can fly into other airports other than LAX and with all the attractions in SoCal it makes for a nice trip.
I live in O.C. and I seldom travel into L.A. unless it's business related or to go to a L.A. Kings hockey game. jmo

yep, west lafayette is a dump, all the people there are dorks and the stadium was crumbling to the ground

golf course looked nice as we were parking on one of the fairways, though

maybe everything's gotten better since I was there in 2013? probably not

Clemson has got one hell of a set up for sure, lots of hot women too.

Lucky.. i was treated very poorly at both Wisky games I attended.. their fans are pure trash

I always appreciated the trips to ISU especially as a family man. It’s a nice atmosphere for a day with the kids and I like how the sports complex is basically self contained on the edge of town with Hilton on one end and Trice other. Walking around the campus is quite nice as well.

Big10 I enjoyed Iowa and OSU, and the PAC I like USC.

Did Buckeye fans offer you their coolers to relieve yourself?

Before Ohio State's home match-up with USC in 2009,
Columbus Dispatch article about "cooler poopers"

Q. For those who arrive on campus early, will there be enough toilets?
Ohio State hopes so and says it has learned its lesson from big matchups such as the Texas game in 2005, in which cleanup crews found several soiled shorts and a few coolers filled with poop.
