Not for football. The concert band,  in 1974, was on tour and played in Wichita.  In 1975, my flame transferred from TWU to West Texas State and I paid her a visit.  I drove a Rambler Ambassador and she rode a unicycle. As all the girls in that era had hair to their ankles, she often looked like Cousin Itt.

Living in Texas again, the bowl game added my seventh:

 

(in order by first game)

1. Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium
2. Apogee Stadium
3. Gerald J. Ford Stadium
4. Cotton Bowl
5. Alamodome
6. California Memorial Stadium
7. Toyota Stadium

 

Next year I'm trying to get a group of friends to go to Vegas for the UNLV game. Going to Memphis wouldn't be too unrealistic either if it wasn't the week after Vegas.

Our road division games would be UTEP, UTSA, and UAB. El Paso could add to a hiking trip perhaps, UAB probably not realistic.

Fouts - Denton, Texas (70+)

Apogee - Denton, Texas (The only game I've missed was the WKU Thursday night game. So about 60).

C.H. Collins Complex - Denton, Texas (1) Bonus points here. We played a spring game there when they were tearing down Fouts and Apogee wasn't finished.

Memorial Stadium - Austin, Texas (2)

Memorial Stadium - Norman, Oklahoma (2)

Memorial Stadium - Berkley, California (1)

Floyd Casey - Waco, Texas (1)

Superdome - New Orleans, Louisiana All 5 bowls we've played there.

Michie Stadium - West Point, New York (1) It's pronounced Mike-eee.

Toyota Stadium - Frisco, Texas (1) Both the Frisco Bowl (La. Tech v SMU) and the Frisco Football Classic.

Texas Stadium - Irving, Texas (1)

Cotton Bowl - Dallas, Texas (2)

Amon Carter - Fort Worth, Texas (1) The Hiram Gonzales game.

Ford Stadium - University Park, Texas (4)

Bowers Stadium - Huntsville, Texas (1)

Bobcat Stadium - San Marcos, Texas (1)

Centennial Bank Stadium - Jonesboro, Arkansas (1) I got to fly on the team charter out of Love Field and stayed in Memphis that Friday night. We were at a BBQ joint/bar watching the Texas Rangers lose the World Series. Click to watch if you want to cry.

 

Razorback Stadium - Fayetteville, Arkansas (1) The win in 2018 should have been my second visit. The game in 2001 was cancelled due to September 11th. Arkansas replaced us with Weber State and we picked up Troy State.

 

 

Honorable Mention #1McLane Stadium - Waco, Texas. (1) Not for North Texas.

Honorable Mention #2 - Jones Stadium - Lubbock, Texas 1 million people claimed they were there but I really was. Special appearance by the great Graham Harrell.

 

 

 

Honorable Mention #3 Kyle Field - College Station, Texas My first college football game. I saw David Walker, George Woodard, Curtis Dickey, and Tony Franklin.

*asterix = marched there, too

Mean Green games:
*Apogee
*Fouts
*Superdome - 2001 NO Bowl loss to CSU.  After 9/11, it seemed every half time show had something special to honor our fallen.  In the NO Bowl half time show, both bands got together to hold/wave the massive United States-shaped flag that is often used in Super Bowls.  Additionally, we played TTech in Texas Stadium this year, joined the Red Raider band on the field for a gorgeous arrangement of American the Beautiful.  I could barely hold my instrument up at the end, I was crying/shaking.    What an emotional year.
*DKR-Tx Memorial
*Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial
*Cotton Bowl
*Texas Stadium
Bill Snyder Family - KSU road trip!  Wonderful fans and gameday atmosphere.  5 star review/highly recommend.

UTEP games:
*Sun Bowl
Amon Carter.  I "got to" watch LT break the NCAA record for yards in a game.  This record was later broken by Ron Dayne (I think)
*Apogee
*Candlestick Park.  We played SDSU, alma mater of Marshall Faulk!
*Cotton.  I'm pretty sure this was SMU, because this was 1997 or 1998 and Ford Stadium did not exist yet
Jones AT&T
*NRG Stadium
...I have vivid memory of Marching Miner Band practice in Alamodome, but don't recall AT ALL playing UTSA in a football game there. lol

bucket list:
Camp Randall (Wisconsin)
Lane Stadium (VT)

I grab a mini helmet from each stadium I visit and we have a wall to display them in our house. Hoping to add the UNLV helmet thus coming season.

That is actually a really cool idea, but there is no scenario in which that SMU helmet would enter my home.
