When I go to a game, I like to see the campus, the architecture, the buildings, etc. and then attend the game. So, I am asking: Which college football stadiums are not on campus or close by that you know of?

OK, off the top of my head.

Arkansas when they play in Little Rock
Syracuse in the Carrier Dome
Miami, where ever they now play (Joe Robbie?)
Tulane (I think Superdome)

I have been to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln and I believe it is almost downtown and not on campus. Probably qualifies for on campus.

The University of Hawaii plays at Aloha Stadium, about 30-40 minutes from the campus.

Doesn't another Florida team play away from campus? FAU maybe?

I also think South Florida plays at Raymond James Stadium, the home of the Bucs. Central Florida, I believe also plays at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

I knew someone played in the Citrus bowl, just didn't know who. Thanks.

I only live 75 miles from Tampa and Orlando, but sadly have not gone to a game of South Fla or Central Fla yet.

Now you know, they had to have photo-shopped most of those fans into the seats...

I have never seen a sold out Central Florida game.

Minnesota used to play at the Metrodome but they are back on campus.
The preceding statements are solely the opinion of GoBoilers and are, therefore, probably not based whatsoever on fact, research or more time in thought than what was required to physically type them. They're probably correct anyway, so you shouldn't argue too much, because otherwise he'll just blather on forever. On the internet Al Gore invented.

I liked going to the games in the metrodome... was nice and warm; inside.

Can't ever seeing myself going to a game in Minnesota in November ever again.
