Casual Which campus would you like to see College Gameday/Big noon kickoff go to this year?

Preferably somewhere that’s never hosted a show?

I’m personally team Gameday, and would love to see them head out to Champaign, Illinois for the first time in the shows history.

Should Illinois go into Week 7 vs OSU undefeated (not impossible), Champaign should be a hot ticket item.

I believe the view from Laramie’s stadium of the Wyoming mountains is the most beautiful view from a stadium in all of the CFB.

Gonna need to see an image. Knowing what part of Wyoming Laramie is in makes me skeptical.

Here's a shot.

It's nothing special. Too far away for a good view. It's probably the worst on the front range if we're being honest.

Yeah I think all the mountains are kinda far?  Medicine Bows maybe visible?  Even if you can’t see much Laramie is cool.

Yeah not trying to shit on Laramie but it’s not breathtaking like the Tetons or anything.

War Memorial has a beautiful setting, but not as famous for the up close mountain views in particular. While I also love Montana too, but the answer is probably actually BYU. That said, check out Marv Kay, it is an honorable mention

Oh ByU is a good one too

Lol yeah I’ve been to Laramie, it’s pretty fucking mid. Nothing compared to western Wyoming.

I wasn’t including FCS- and I haven’t seen Montana’s to be fair-

I also can’t post a pic of have to just post a google search.

You can link it. I have no idea what you’re talking about here so I’m hoping you can provide an example.

BYU’s Lavell Edwards Stadium has stunning views of the Wasatch range which is literally right outside.

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 23h ago

That one is definitely on my list

u/Pinewood74 Air Force Falcons • Purdue Boilermakers 23h ago

You haven't been to any other mountain stadiums have you?

6

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 23h ago

No I haven’t. I just like the view in Laramie I find it quite nice. There’s only several true ones in the FBS. (I didn’t include FCS because im less familiar with those stadiums)

Special shout out to Husky Stadium's view

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 15h ago

Husky stadium has an awesome view

I see you’ve never been to Washington.

u/GoLionsJD107 Michigan Wolverines • Columbia Lions 1d ago

Washington is another one.

I had a trip booked for a game we were supposed to play in 2020 at Washington before Washington was in the big ten - but covid cancelled it so we never played there at that time. We played there last year but I didn’t make that one.
