The Cotton Bowl is in Dallas, this site was chosen because it is the halfway point between Norman, Oklahoma and Austin Texas. Tickets are divided evenly between the two schools. You will notice half the stadium is red and the other side is burnt orange.

I would definitely recommend going to a Big Ten or SEC stadium. The gameday atmosphere is just amazing. I am partial to the Nebraska Cornhuskers who hold a record for selling out every game since 1962. Lincoln Nebraska is an amazing college town and Nebraska fans are known to be the most welcoming of any school. The stadium is located in downtown Lincoln so its a vibe of an environment.

When Huey Long was governor of Louisiana in the 1920s, the state told him he couldn’t build such a large stadium for LSU, it was against the state rules. He asked if there were any rules that limited the size for housing, was told no, so had some student dormitories built into the stadium facilities, and reclassified the stadium as housing.

The Georgia -Florida game would be ideal. It's billed as the country's largest outdoor cocktail party.

Alabama v Auburn, and Michigan v Ohio State are the two biggest rivalry games of the year. Michigan v Ohio State is set to be the best game of the whole season so far. The teams are currently ranked #2 and #3 and have a high likelihood of being the top 2 teams in the country when they face off on thanksgiving weekend, last week of November. The price for tickets at these games are typically insane!

Michigan Stadium was designed & built in the early 1900s with the intent that the "bowl" dug into the ground would make it easier for expansion. The Big House is 96 years old

Michigan Stadium was built with 29’ wide footings. The architects planned ahead for a possible second and third deck. Not sure what they’re talking about having trouble filling the stadium. Other than Covid year we’re on a streak of +100K since 1975

Gotta come to the Iron Bowl for the huge Alabama/Auburn rivalry game. SEC forever!

My top ten games with amazing environments to go to this November -Ohio State v Michigan -LSU v Alabama -Washington v USC -Oregon v USC -Alabama v Auburn -Michigan v Penn State -Georgia v Tennessee -Louisville v Kentucky -Colorado v Oregon State -Notre Dame v Clemson Hope this helps you find a game, all of these are good matchups on paper with top talent rosters and packed house crowd environments

Michigan Stadium has had 313 consecutive games of 100,000 or more in attendance.

Tenn/Ala/ & Texas. Try to attend when a ranked team comes to town. Also go EARLY to enjoy the tail gate parties, that`s 1/2 the fun!!

For clarity, cotton bowl has had a permanent occupant in the past. The Cowboys and Dallas Texans (now chiefs) both played there. SMU did. And it was long host of the Cotton Bowl which is one of the most prestigious bowl games (obviously named after the stadium), which is now played in the more modern cowboys stadium. Eventually those events all moved bc the stadium is so old and outdated, but it’s a very historic venue

The Big House is amazing. If you’re coming in November you should come to the Michigan-Ohio State game is the biggest rivalry in college football

Florida State and Florida always big game!

I'm positive you guys get invitations left and right but I live right by the stadium here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We have Tennessee here this Saturday and even bigger, LSU two weeks after. I can always get tickets and it'd be a pleasure to show you guys an amazing gameday experience here with the Crimson Tide. The all-time kings of college football. There's nothing like it. Hope you boys like a drink or twelve:)

Could have got y’all Tennessee Vol tickets if you wanted them. Still may be able to. Not sure what days you’ll be here but Neyland stadium is an amazing experience. My dad used to get sky box tickets where they had a buffet outside the boxes that changed after the half. Plus it’s right on the river with the Vol Navy out there. Come on son!

NFL stadiums have chairs/padded seats. College stadiums have benches/bleachers of which in curtain sections will have chairs. Also if its a stadium with bleachers, seasoned fans would bring padded folding chairs that go on top of the bleachers.

The largest crowd for a college football game was actually in Bristol Tennessee at the race track. Can't remember the year but it was massive

If you're gonna be here in the south for Rivalry Weekend and not going to Auburn/Alabama, the next best game I'd suggest is Florida State vs Florida

You are correct about the stands. The school I graduated from recently (Ohio State) has a mixture of both individual seats and bleacher stands. The individual seats are on the lower sections on the sides of the pitch, while the stands are on the end zones. The north and south bleacher stands are for the student tickets, and the sides and individual seating is for season ticket holders who aren’t students. Sitting in the stands is best! Rowdier, more packed, louder, better environment. In regards to ticket prices; I’m suprised nobody who watches your videos haven’t been able to hook you up with a bit of a discount or deal yet. If I was still in Uni I would have been able to sort you two out with a cracking deal on seats. Hopefully someone who is a fan can sort you out with a deal soon. The November month is the best time to watch college football, especially if the teams play in the SEC or Big 10

SEC Championship game on December 2nd in Atlanta, looking like it could be Georgia and Alabama again. Would be a great game to go to. Its held at the Atlanta Falcons NFL stadium, Mercedez Benz

When Michigan stadium was built, Fielding Yost the headcoach at the time visioned it holding 200k people. It was built with footings that allows it to be expanded further down as well as up.

The Cotton Bowl is basically dedicated to just the Oklahoma/Texas game, which is why it hasn't been modernized. It's located almost exactly half way between the two schools so each team's fans are allocated 50% of the seats. It's one of the few American sporting events where the fans of both teams are separated from each other like you'd find with European football matches. This year's fixture was an all-time classic with Oklahoma beating favored Texas 34-30.

Michigan plays at Penn State November 11th. Gonna be a massive game.

You need to do “biggest upset in college football history,” where tiny Appalachian State went into a sold out big house and took out Michigan.

Georgia at Tennessee on nov 18 would be a great game to go see and youd have a great time tailgating.

The Alabama Auburn game is a legendary college football rivalry. Auburn also has the biggest screen of any college football stadium

Georgia vs Tennessee is Nov 18th. There won't be a bigger SEC game that weekend

Construction on the Cotton Bowl began in 1930 and was completed the same year. "The original stadium-the lower half of the current facility-was built for a cost of $328,000 and seated 45,507 spectators... In 1948, a second deck was added to the west side, increasing capacity to 67,000. The east side was double-decked the following year, increasing capacity to 75,504. These decks were added to respond to the demand for fans to watch SMU halfback Doak Walker... In the 2000s (decade), the renewed dominance of both the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns created a new interest in their rivalry, and the stadium. Temporary stands were erected in each end zone to increase seating for these games from just over 68,000 to 90,000. In November 2006, the city of Dallas and the State Fair of Texas finally agreed on funding for a long-planned $50 million renovation, with $30 million of this amount from a city bond. Thus, in April 2007, the schools signed a contract to play at the Cotton Bowl through 2015, coupled with a $57 million fund for upgrades and improvements to the aging stadium.. The 2008 renovations include the expansion of the seating capacity of the stadium from 68,252 to 92,100,[2] mostly through the complete encircling of the second deck, new media and VIP facilities, a new scoreboard and video screen, updated restrooms and concession areas, lighting, utility and sound upgrades and the replacement of all the stadium's seats... The renovation was also intended to increase the chances of the Cotton Bowl Classic becoming a part of the Bowl Championship Series. However, the renovation was not enough to prevent the Cotton Bowl Classic from moving out of its namesake stadium after the 2009 game. Dallas' occasionally cold January weather had been a longstanding concern for the game, and was believed to have precluded any prospect of adding it to the BCS even after the expansion."

Iron Bowl will be crazy this year, lots of amazing games played in Auburn between the two

Tennessee vs Georgia. November 18th if your in town. I know you mentioned Gatlinburg in a previous video, Vols stadium is is about 30min from Gatlinburg. 102k fans it will be epic!

The Cotton Bowl is used for more than just the Red River Rivalry. Prairie View and Grambling play college football there too. And since Dallas owns it, Dallas Independent School District uses it for high school football games, and various regional high school football teams use it as a neutral site during State Championship playoffs. So it is used often. Of course, few high school games fill the lower bowl with fans.

Im not sure when you will be in the Us, but the Tennessee vs Georgia game may very well be one of the biggest games of the year. It take place in Neyland Stadium in Knoxville on November 18th.

If you're gonna go to a Football game, highly recommend going to Texas Longhorns game! Austin is a great place to be as a tourist, and its a good excuse to try out some of the best barbeque in the country. May as well go to the state that (arguably) loves football the most!

I took a picture outside The Big House when I was 14. It’s absolutely massive but in a perfect spot where it fits with the rest of the campus and the surrounding town. I’m a Michigan State fan and it’s rivalry week so I’m obligated to say Go Green!

American college football is so much better than the NFL.

The first stadium the cotton bowl dedicates a whole month towards the texas state fair with two seperate rivalry games to kickoff the week and end it. The first game is a hbcu rivalry game between Grambling State vs Prairie View A&M called the state fair classic. It gets between 50- 65k and the lights dont shut off for that till a hr and a half after the game cause the bands might still be playing. Then you have the fair inbetween and they end with the televised red river rivalry with texas & Oklahoma that get around 90k. Its kinda dope they have these events during the fair

The Cotton Bowl stadium has a few games other than the OU-Texas game. There has been a neutral site HBCU game during the state fair. They also have a lower tier bowl game there since The Cotton Bowl game moved to Dallas Cowboys/AT&T Stadium in Arlington between Dallas and Fort Worth.

Michigan stadium has the top five places for largest crowds.

The one game to see has gotta be... Michigan vs. Ohio State At the big house this year!

Dallas cowboys played at the cotton bowl before texas stadium. Stars occasionally play an outdoor game their. But it host alot of concerts now. It's in the middle state fair of texas in dallas

Whatever game you guys end up going to, make sure you take part in the tailgating before the game.

Waiting on the Phillies reaction from last nights game!!

Should watch the highlights from 2021 michigan vs ohio st game. Epic game and atmosphere with the snow falling and the best rivalry in sports. Such a great game. Def worth a watch

Yes, the Cotton Bowl was built just for one game. But they also have had a yearly Post Season Bowl game there, and possibly other events from time to time. But the reason it exists, is for the Oklahoma Texas game each year, during the Texas State Fair, which is where it's located.

That deceptively low rise Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium of any sort in the US. It is also the 3rd largest stadium on the planet. That's why it's known as The Big House. It is also the home of the national champion Michigan Wolverines. A great pilgrimage to make. You'll love it😊😊

Yes guys PLEASE go to Auburn vs Alabama. Maybe the biggest rivalry in American sport. Auburn isn’t far from Atlanta, is a beautiful and fun town filled with tradition, AND Auburn has the biggest screen of any college stadium. It costs allot to go but is as good as it gets

Cotton Bowl is putting 300m in renovations into it currently. They host soccer, numerous football games and concerts. The Rolling Stones and Coldplay played there in the past few years

Georgia Stadium is in Athens close to Atlanta. But if you’re coming in November, you have the Florida Florida State game that’s being held in Tallahassee, which is an awesome big rivalry. Overview for this video all of the stadium they were built in the early mid

As someone who is a Michigan native and have been to about 10 different Michigan VS Michigan State/Ohio State games (only 2 teams ive seen them face irl), i can attest that The Big House is the coolest, most amazing and the dumbest stadium ive ever been to. College football is 99.9% played on Saturdays, so my family would just rent a hotel in the Ann Arbor area and go out to eat. We never delt with the traffic because the first time we went we delt with it. We said never again.

I thought I was the only one who watched depressed ginger regularly. Props to you guys.

Good game to go to is UNC-Duke! Should be a top 25 matchup at what’s often considered one of the more beautiful stadiums in college football. It’s a basketball rivalry and neither UNC nor Duke are known for football usually, but should be a great atmosphere and relatively cheap tickets.

A college team will play about 12 games a season, half at home, and half at the opponent's stadium. Those with winning seasons will have a bowl game afterwards, or play for the championship. The stadiums are utilized for other sports and activities when football season is over.

Dream has always been to go to Beaver Stadium since I was five years old. There's something about college football. You can support your local teams, always root for the SIU Salukis, but when you become a fan of a big dog you stay a fan.

In 1981 I saw the Rolling Stones concert at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, so they do other things than just the one football game.

I’m a SEC girl, so I’m going with the #1 (right now…defending champions), Georgia Bulldogs ❤🐾 But any college game, in any of the stadiums, will be amazing!

Yes, you got it. The size of these stadiums is greater than NFL stadiums because of the bench seating.

Two game suggestions for that same week. #3 ranked Ohio State VS #7 ranked Penn State at Ohio State. #4 ranked Florida State vs Florida at Florida. Both should be great games with great atmosphere’s. Columbus, Ohio is about the same distance as Auburn from Nashville, TN as well. Tickets are around $170 on the low end for OSU vs PSU and $150 for Florida vs FSU. Something to consider!

Ann Arbor has a waiting list for season tickets to Michigan home games. What the guy was saying in the video was regarding the "Students Section". The students' section doesn't always fill up and the University has to set aside a set amount of seats for them. BUT if the Wolverines continue on with the records they have had over the past 50 years they would be well served to add on some seats that would be purchased by non-students. Money is the game. Michigan knows better than I do but don't be surprised someday if they don't add on a few thousand more.

THE White Out.....I've met people from Ireland and Germany and England and California and Texas and Tennessee that just wanted to attend THE White Out as part of their bucket list from just seeing videos of it on You Tube. There's a reason it's called Happy Valley....Come early (before Saturday), stay late (over Sunday till Monday).....you'll need the extra rest before traveling.

Yes... the cotton bowl is literally only there for the rivalry game currently. Obv it held other sports in its past but for a long time it has been there only for the rivalry game. I kid you not. There may be some alt events now but it is literally a sleeping giant for 364 days. Its too old for it to be called a home stadium without upgrades.

I live in the area of Michigan Stadium and been at games there. You can drive right past it and not even realize it. Its right on Main st. on the south end of Ann Arbor.

Tom Brady played for Michigan!

Guys, since the narrator didn't specify on several, I went to google for some info: DKR Texas Memorial is in Austin/U. of TX. Neyland is in Knoxville, TN, and home of the U of TN Volunteers. Last is Beaver Stadium in PA on the campus of Penn State.

11:55 The company I work in Atlanta has a UK division in Twickenham, lol never knew that’s how it was pronounced. Thank you for the clarity Daz.

Buckeye (Ohio State) fan here. I've got to give credit where credit is due, and a night game White Out at #3 Beaver Stadium (Penn State) is the best college game environment.

Where I live we have independence bowl it’s used for whoever gets selected to play in that bowl, during the year it hosts a couple rival smaller college teams etc it’s also located inside the state fair grounds of Louisiana

No, the Cotton Bowl isn't just for that one game. They play two games in it, the Oklahoma vs Texas rivalry game and the Cotton Bowl Classic - an invitational game for two of the best teams at the end of the season. The USA has 55 stadiums of over 65,000 - most of them for college football. There are 99 of over 50,000. The 1990 World Cup hoisted by the USA is still the highest attended WC in history, in part because we have so many more seats to provide.

If you are going over in november go watch a college basketball game too!! Have some big games in novermber depending on when you are going

Nearly 75 percent of the Michigan Stadium had to be built below ground level to offset the effects of a high water table. The Big House the largest college football venue, it is the third-largest stadium in the entire world. The largest in North America. Michigan's long-time athletic director Fielding Yost (1927) had the stadium built so that it could be expanded to fit up to 200,000 people. He believed that one day, it would need to seat at least 150,000. That is some serious vision for a guy in 1927 - when the population of Ann Arbor was only 26,944! Only North Korea's Rungrado May Day Stadium (150,000) and Salt Lake Stadium (120,000) in India facilitate more fans than the Big House (race tracks and open field non-enclosed venues excluded). Its official capacity is 107,601, but it has hosted crowds in excess of 115,000. Back in 2013, Michigan Stadium set a new NCAA record for attendance when 115,109 fans packed their way inside of the stadium to watch No. 17 Michigan defeat No. 14 Notre Dame by a score of 41-30. The new LED lighting upgrade completed this year (2023) are A-MAIZE-ING....

For that particular weekend during your visit to the U.S., I would recommend either: A double header - Ole Miss plays at Mississippi State in Starkville, Miss. on Dec. 23rd. That game is a five hour drive in your rental car from Dec. 25th matchups between Alabama at Auburn or a four hour drive for the night game at LSU (insane atmosphere) when they play Texas A&M also on the 25th. My wish on a star for the best experience would have to be Ohio State at Michigan. Both will be ranked top five and you will get the whole ESPN College Gameday and/or Fox pregame experience. An abundance of riches!

You can see how much is below ground by the entrances to the seating being 3/4 of the way up from the field. To expand more, they would definitely need to move the roads surrounding it. I have been going to football games there since the 70s (back when capacity was only a meager 101,000). Attendance at the stadium has been over 100,000 every game since the early 1970s. It is definitely an experience.

If you're still looking for a good game to attend, try the Florida/Georgia game in Jacksonville Florida. It's so contentious, they have it in a neutral location. Often called "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party." Really, any SEC matchup would be a blast (SEC is South Eastern Conference).

Nice family, I believe I saw we have something in Common, not being from Houston, but both lived there for few years? We are a Miami family, but moved for our careers to Houston 2011-2015... Great Videos, and great personalities! You should let us know if you are ever in South Florida, we live way down south, not too far from the Florida Keys!

GO TO A GAME AT NEYLAND. ITS AN EXPERIENCE. STONE MOUNTAIN IN GEORGIA, HELEN, GEORGIA, GATLINBURG, PIGEON FORGE, SEVIERVILLE AREA IN TENNESSEE. GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK, CLINGMAN'S DOME OBSERVATION TOWER, HIGHEST POINT IN TENNESSEE AND THE NATTY PARK (6648 FT, OVER 2K METERS). EAT AT PALS SUDDEN SERVICE IN GATLINBURG(FROM MY HOMETOWN OF KINGSPORT, EAST TENNESSEE LEGENDARY FAST FOOD). DRIVE THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON. VISIT THE DISTILLERIES IN THE SMOKIES.

The cotton bowl is an older stadium for the Red River Rivalry designated for OU and Texas as a "neutral site". But does have the TX state fair outside it so more than just the game before or after

You might try and lobby your subscribers who have season tickets to give your theirs for a game, because spending 600 dollars for a regular season cfb game is ridiculous. I’m sure many people would be happy to give up theirs for a week so you can experience a game, though good/rivalry games will definitely be in more demand.

If you guys want to see the college football game with the largest attendance ever check out The Battle at Bristol.

American football has roots as a college game going back to the late 1860s, it didn't become a professional sport until the 1920s, so a lot of what you're seeing is rooted in a tradition that spans generations - hope you enjoy your time in America

Ohio St at Michigan. November 25th. One of the best rivalries in the sports, in one of the biggest stadiums in the world. Both teams are phenomenal this year too. That's the game I'd choose.

Come to Ann Arbor for the biggest rivalry in college football. Michigan VS Ohio State...(you can handle the chilly weather!) 25/11/23 Noon. You could come in Wednesday that week and take in the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day game! (two for one!) 23/11/23 12:30. This would be a football memory of a lifetime.

The screen might not show a replay if it's not favorable to the home team. Players watch themselves on screen all the time. After Julian Edelman's amazing catch for in Super Bowl 51. He clearly tells the defender after the play to watch the replay on the big screen with him. In some clips you can hear him, in others, you can just see the reaction of the defender from watching the play.

clemson vs south carolina is a decent rivalry, and itll be cheap

Texas’ DKR Memorial has been over 100k for almost 15 years. The recent renovation didn’t add a single seat. The renovation removed then added seats back to keep the capacity exactly the same.

You should look at the biggest high school stadiums, they are almost as big if not bigger than some college stadiums

The cotton bowl also houses the cotton bowl itself at the end of the season, it’s one of the six premium new years bowls

Florida State at Florida (Gainesville, Florida) November 25, 6 hour drive from Atlanta Florida is weaker than usual this year, so ticket prices won't be through the roof.

The cotton bowl has been invested in. It was expanded fairly recently. It was the home of the Cowboys and the rhe Cotton Bowl game for a long long time, now its mostly maintained for the RRS. I expect that game to move eventually. Really the only draw is the Texas State Fair st the same time.

I do remember that Notre Dame Stadium, intentionally a mini-Michigan Stadium by design, built _around_ the original building, and added 21 thousand seats -- and a giant screen on the south end zone, though not on the north as that one's pointed towards the giant 'Touchdown Jesus" mural on the library and they don't want to block the view of THAT -- but reduced it by 3 thousand overall to a current total of 77,622, possibly just by spacing out the lines on the bleachers.

Oval stadiums are the 100 year old stadiums with bench seating (michigan). That’s why they get 100,000 people in there

It's not the most headline grabbing game. But... you should go see the Apple Cup. It's going to be at Husky Stadium in Seattle. And this year is the last year it'll happen with UW moving to the B10 next season. You guys can get there early and go Sailgating!

If you're going to Atlanta and want to go to a game somewhere, there would be some good options. Georgia, Auburn, Clemson are all relatively close by. Or right in Atlanta there's Georgia Tech who may not be all that great but its still a really good college atmosphere against a good opponent.

Definitely would be the LSU and Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. And it is a night game. Look up the past couple LSU and A&M games. High scoring affairs.

Go to a Tar Heels football game in North Carolina 🙏🏼

Nashville doesn't do many direct international flights, the airport is too small. The nearest will be Atlanta or Chicago.

SEC has Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Vandy, Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri, Ole Miss, Mississippi State.

I’ve been to Michigan’s stadium many times and it’s bench seating but ya it is pretty surreal when you’re there how big it is

The cotton bowl is located inside the Texas fair grounds and can be rented for other things it’s not part of a school etc so other schools etc can rent it if something happens to their own fields etc

The capacity of Michigan Stadium in the video is inaccurate. The capacity always ends in "one". The one "extra seat" in Michigan Stadium is said to be reserved for Fritz Crisler, athletic director at the time. Since then, all official Michigan Stadium capacity figures have ended in "-01", although the extra seat's location is not specified.

100% Michigan v Ohio State. No question. If you’re only doing it once. This year it’s going to be an ENORMOUSLY important game making it even a bigger deal. Michigan’s won the last 2 in a row but had not beaten OSU in like nearly 10 years or something- a long time. It heated up the last couple years and this year with them both currently ranked in the 5-ish range, depending on who you listen to. Absolutely, you must. No way around it. And it’s a two-fir. You get see THE BIGGEST rivalry in American sports- really no debate about that. And you get to be in the biggest stadium as the game is in Ann Arbor this year. Good luck. Can’t wait to see your videos from the game and Ann Arbor in general. You’re going to love Ann Arbor. Also one of the best college towns in America. Cheers.
