All these long lists have me thinking I'm not much of a football fan. I've only seen most of your places when they're empty during basketball season.

Carrier Dome
Kyle Field
Andy Kerr
Schoellkopf Field
where Georgetown plays
Fisher Stadium (Lafayette)
Goodman Stadium (Lehigh)

I think that's it, really short list. Lehigh-Lafayette is a really great rivalry; Lehigh's been the better team, but their stadium is this horrible antiseptic place on a barren hilltop far from the town and the academic campus. It's awful. Lafayette's is cool.

Andy Kerr would be the worst, but it's featured in my avatar (that was a fun day), so I'll rank it slightly ahead of Georgetown. Georgetown plays on a turf field with a couple bleachers scattered around. It's only good for standing on the hillside while drinking and heckling Georgetown fans.

Kyle Field is fun, saw Oklahoma beat TAMU there a few years back. Incredible tailgate scene (without acres of ugly parking lots, no less). Very un-Dome-like in its lack of ads and canned music. Crazy student section with choreographed cheers and yells (rehearsed at midnight the previous night, when the bars let out and thousands of people come into the stadium and are allowed field access). Incredibly hot on the student side on a sunny day.

Better than those: the Dome for Miami in 1992 and West Virginia in 1997 and a number of other games.
