Death Valleys (both Clemson and LSU, preferably at night)
Happy Valley (again, preferably at night)
Camp Randall
The Swamp
Bryant-Denney
Rocky Top
Rose Bowl
Autzen
The Coliseum
The Shoe
Kyle Field
DKR Memorial
Memorial Stadium (OU)

Edit: I forgot to add Sanford Stadium (Georgia)

I have a very similar list. I would add Lane Stadium at Va Tech, and Jordan-Hare for the Iron Bowl, after Chizik leaves of course

I note that none of you have listed TCF Bank Stadium. It has to be the most sacred of stadiums in the entire CFB universe.

Really? Only SEC and Big 10/12? I guess Notre Dame and UCLA made the list, but college football does expand beyond those two conference. I hear there is a great team that deface mason jars but the stadium has to be pretty cool since it made out of wood. No pun intended.

Army back in 05 was amazing. Great pageantry and an amazing experience, especially sitting in the Army faculty section. The Victory Helmet was a huge draw and got myself and my brother invited to a faculty keg party afterward.

I briefly considered Lane Stadium. The two that JUST missed my cut for this list were Doak Campbell and Jordan-Hare. Those two I'd probably try to go to, but they don't quite make the bucket list.

From a history/civil rights point of view, Jack Trice Stadium is probably considered sacred. I think it's pretty cool that ISU plays in the only D1 stadium named after an African-American. That's neat.

While not necessarily a "sacred" stadium, I'm going to the Army @ Air Force game this year, looking forward to tailgating, cool stadium location right in front of the mountains, and an armed forces rivalry game. My cousin's husband is coming with us who played at West Point also, so it should be a fun day.

Now that I'm making some cash, I'd like to go to one new game each year that I have absolutely nothing to do with. Top of my list is LSU, OSU, PSU, Washington.

Absolutely at the top of my list ever since Gameday did a special on their tailgating and featured a guy cooking an alligator rotisserie style for the Florida game. Grilling the other teams mascot gets a big thumbs up from me!

I've been there 4 or 5 times. It gets loud if there are actually people in the stands. My last two experiences (UCLA, Arizona) were less than impressive. The scenery is of of course beautiful, especially the campus, but the stadium is starting to get a run down feel. Was at CenturyLink Field (Qwest) this past Friday for the Seahawks/Raiders exhibition. That gets loud. Not necessarily for an exhibition but the playoff game I went to against the Rams years ago was ridiculous.

I've only driven by it and it looks like a glorified high school stadium. Cool that its on the bay, but the stadium itself looks like crap.

No Yale on the list? The true birthplace of football? The stadium that the Rose Bowl, Big House, Notre Dame Stadium were all modeled after?
