Planning a college sports road trip? These are the 25 best stops worth making
More than 1,100 colleges and universities sponsor NCAA sports, including 136 in FBS football. Visiting all of them would be impossible. On top of that, some of the most important college sports events of the year take place in off-campus venues. With the 2025-26 school year about to begin, we figured we'd narrow down 25 college sports places to visit over the next 10 months. It's a blend of historic stadiums and arenas, renowned atmospheres, bitter rivalries and high-stakes matchups. Advertisement While football represents half our list, you'll find that 11 other sports make appearances as well. One rule: No city or campus could appear twice. It was hard to narrow the list to 25. It would have been nice to include an FCS football game, for one, and perhaps some conference tournaments in basketball. The good news, though, is that we get to pick 26 for 2026 next year. The iconic Horseshoe hosts a potentially iconic game. Texas at Ohio State, Aug. 30 (football) Start the college football season strong with a preseason No. 1 vs. No. 3 matchup at 'The Horseshoe,' one of Ohio Stadium's nicknames. ESPN College GameDay enthusiasts should arrive early to get a prime spot behind the set for Lee Corso's final headgear pick. Reigning champions against an upstart favorite Florida State at North Carolina, Sept. 17 (women's soccer) The Tar Heels play on Dorrance Field, named after legendary coach Anson Dorrance, who retired before last season. UNC is coming off the program's 22nd national title and begins the 2025 season back at No. 1. It just so happens FSU is No. 3. An iconic nighttime atmosphere The White Out game, Sept. 27 (football) Arguably the greatest atmosphere in college football takes place just once a year: Under the lights at Beaver Stadium, where 106,000 Penn State fans light up in white. This season's matchup is awesome. Oregon takes on Penn State, both of which are in the preseason top 10. One Saturday Closer…⏳ — Penn State Football (@PennStateFball) August 9, 2025 For football and fried things The Red River Rivalry, Oct. 11 (football) Everyone should experience a football game played smack dab in the middle of the Texas State fair, where the aroma of corny dogs (not a typo) and fried everything fills the air. This year, the 50/50 Sooners-Longhorns crowd at the Cotton Bowl gets to see a juicy quarterback matchup: Texas' Arch Manning vs. Oklahoma's John Mateer. Advertisement It could be the last chance in a while to see this rivalry game. USC at Notre Dame, Oct. 18 (football) A trip to see Touchdown Jesus and the Grotto should be near the top of any football fan's bucket list, but especially for this game. After all, USC has been threatening to discontinue the annual battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh, just as the Fighting Irish are turning back into a national power. Experience the famous tailgate before its two-year hiatus. The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, Nov. 1 (football) Like Oklahoma-Texas in the Red River Rivalry, the neutral-site setting for Florida-Georgia only adds to its mystique. Get there this year before the game moves to campuses in 2026 and 2027 due to stadium renovations. Oh my, the Halloween costumes you'll see. Saturday night in the SEC LSU at Alabama, Nov. 8 (football) There is truly nothing like a Saturday night in the SEC. While several stadiums give you the full ear-splitting 100,000-seat experience, these two rivals clashing at Bryant-Denny after a full day of tailgating is as good as it gets. Here's guessing both will still be in College Football Playoff contention. A Black Friday sporting bonanza Iowa at Nebraska (football) and Penn State at Nebraska (women's volleyball), Nov. 28 First, experience the Sea of Red at Memorial Stadium, which has sold out every game since 1962. Then head over to watch a preseason No. 1 vs. No. 2 volleyball showdown in the sport's best home atmosphere. Witness The Athletic's No. 1 all-time rivalry The Game, Nov. 29 (football) Michigan-Ohio State has gotten particularly heated recently with Michigan's four consecutive victories, sign-stealing accusations, flag-planting and pepper spray at last year's game in Columbus. Oh, and Ohio State answering Michigan's national championship the year prior. An early-season nonconference banger UConn-Kansas, Dec. 2 (men's basketball) Allen Fieldhouse is a must-see college basketball cathedral. Why wait for the Jayhawks' Big 12 schedule when you can swoop in and see a big nonconference game against Dan Hurley's Huskies, which welcome back forward Alex Karaban for what feels like his 27th season? Advertisement The pomp and circumstance of a 125-year-old rivalry Army-Navy, Dec. 13 (football) Nothing matches the pageantry of this 125-year-old rivalry, from the pregame 'March On' to the joint singing of alma maters by the two teams at the end. It just so happens that both academies are coming off double-digit win seasons. The Granddaddy remains the postseason's most prestigious game. The Rose Bowl, Jan. 1 (college football) The Granddaddy is still the one postseason game you've got to experience, even more so than the national championship. It will be a quarterfinal CFP game played against the unparalleled backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains, with the sun setting mid-third quarter. For a matchup of potential top WNBA draft picks Notre Dame-UConn, Jan. 19 (women's basketball) Time to pay a visit to Geno Auriemma's defending national champions. WNBA rookie star Paige Bueckers may be gone, but UConn's Azzi Fudd and Notre Dame's Olivia Miles are currently projected to go in the top 3 of next spring's draft. These teams have combined to win 16 of the past 17 national titles. Penn State-Iowa wrestling, date TBD (men's wrestling) College wrestling's most heated rivalry returns to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where Iowa has led the country in attendance since 2007. The two programs have combined to earn 16 of the past 17 national championships, with the Nittany Lions winning the past four. Bundle up for this old college tradition. Men's Beanpot Tournament, Feb. 2 & 9 (men's hockey) It's a tradition that dates back to 1952: Boston College, Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern square off over consecutive Mondays at TD Garden. A ton of future NHL greats have participated, and more will be there this year. Advertisement Don't sleep on this state capital's buzzy sports scene. Tennessee-South Carolina, Feb. 8 (women's basketball) Dawn Staley's Gamecocks have led the country in attendance for the past 11 seasons, averaging 16,437 fans last season. They've won or reached three of the last four national title games and will be one of the favorites again this season. The SEC slate is in… — South Carolina Women's Basketball (@GamecockWBB) August 5, 2025 March up from Marshall Street A regular-season lacrosse game (men's lacrosse) The Orange hold the sport's most national titles (10, though none since 2009), and JMA Wireless Dome (the former Carrier Dome) is considered the best atmosphere in college lacrosse. When the schedule comes out, check if Cornell or Johns Hopkins is coming to town. The most famous college basketball area in the world? Duke-North Carolina, March 6 (unofficial) (men's basketball) Every college basketball fan should experience the Cameron Crazies once, ideally for an installment of the sport's top rivalry. Cooper Flagg is gone to the Dallas Mavericks, but top-5 recruits Cameron Boozer Jr. (Duke) and Caleb Wilson (North Carolina) are ready to take their turns. The Red Rocks hold the NCAA record for attendance of any women's sport. A regular-season Utah gymnastics meet (women's gymnastics) The Huntsman Center is usually sold out and rollicking whenever the Red Rocks compete, including last March when they knocked off Olympian Jordan Chiles and UCLA. Utah's Makenna Smith is a 10-time All-American and electrifying crowd favorite. The Red Rocks also hold the NCAA record for attendance of any women's sport at 16,019, which was set on March 6, 2015. The fire marshal was called in due to overcapacity. Advertisement Set up the Final Four over two nights. NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, March 29-30 (women's basketball) Because the NCAA splits the women's regionals into two sites, not four, you can watch half the Final Four field decided over two nights. It was this round two years ago when Iowa's Caitlin Clark put up 41 points to exact revenge on Angel Reese and LSU. One of America's most event-friendly downtowns plays host NCAA Tournament Final Four, April 4-6 (men's basketball) The Final Four isn't just about basketball. It's like a big family reunion where coaches, players, athletic directors, agents and notable alumni all convene in one place. Indy is the ideal city for the event, as Lucas Oil Stadium, the concerts and almost all events are walkable from most hotels. Million-dollar coaches prove their worth Any regular-season conference series at LSU (baseball) College baseball is huge in the South, and no one does it quite like LSU. The Tigers won their eighth national championship last season while also boasting the nation's top home attendance (11,185). Yes, there will be tailgating and plenty of jambalaya. The moment the LSU Tigers became the 2025 #MCWS Champions 🤩#MCWS x 🎥 ABC / @LSUbaseball — NCAA Baseball (@NCAABaseball) June 22, 2025 This midwestern town is riding high on sporting events. Women's College World Series Championship, June 3-5 (softball) Sparkling 13,000-seat Devon Park hosts the annual mecca for college softball, as the initial field of eight winnows to two finalists that play a three-game series. The home-state Sooners will be itching to get revenge on Texas Tech, which knocked them out last season. Track Town, USA Advertisement NCAA Track and Field Championships, June 10-13 Eugene is known as Track Town USA, and no other venue matches the history of Hayward Field, built in 1919 and renovated in 2020. Generations of Olympic gold medalists competed here. You can bet future gold medalists will compete here in June. More than 75 years of history for this event Men's College World Series Championship, June 20-22 (baseball) Your 25th and final stop is an event that's called Omaha home since 1950. Around 25,000 fans pack Charles Schwab Field Omaha for the final series, which follows a format similar to the women's. Check out the Jello Shot Challenge at Rocco's while you're in town.

The 10 commandments of football fan etiquette – and what not to do
A new season usually brings new rules, but some things about football should never change. This is not a rebuke to the changes coming to the sport from this weekend, including the notion that only captains are allowed to speak to referees. We give that one about six weeks. Instead it is time to re-state the expectations for match-attending fans. Arrests are down and incidents of racist abuse, while depressingly common online, are thankfully rare within stadiums. Going to football has probably never been safer. But has it ever been so irritating? Attending a match now forces you to ponder the great post-pandemic adjustments of public behaviour. Like a train carriage soundtracked by people FaceTiming on loudspeaker, or inexplicably queueing to be served at pubs, a great number of people simply have no idea how to conduct themselves. The codes of the stadium have long been self-evident, common sense. Many are in danger of being forgotten. In that spirit, here are the 10 commandments of watching football in person: 1. Thou shalt gauge the mood If your ticket is in a raucous spot of the ground where the singing starts you cannot reasonably complain about shouting. If in a more sedate area, take your cues on chanting volume and regularity from those around you. If most people are standing, do not cross your arms in a huff and whinge about sightlines. If most are sitting and you insist on standing, you are showing yourself up and have earned the loud bloke behind you telling you to 'sit daaahn!'. 2. Thou shalt consider personal hygiene Entire Saturdays have been marred by nearby armpits and halitosis. Don't be that guy. And yes, it's always a guy. 3. Thou shalt be mindful of colours It is the height of fan rudeness to watch a smaller club while wearing the emblem of your 'real' Premier League team, even if only on a hat or scarf. It is completely crass if undercover in the home end watching your team away. Realistically this is unlikely to lead to violence if you keep your voice down, but it is still needlessly provocative. No exemption for children either, they can manage an afternoon at Tranmere without their Liverpool coat. 4. Thou shalt not whinge about things which are not hugely important Food selection worse than a petrol station? Hand dryers not very powerful? Seats not very comfortable? It is a football ground, not a business-class lounge. Get over it. 5. Thou shalt not behave like a herbert Fine to be drunk, fine to be rowdy but no excuse for ruining anyone's afternoon. Tone it down if there are children nearby. It is distinctly uncool to scream vitriolic abuse at your own players. But you are allowed to choose one swear word from the top shelf and shout it at an opposition player or referee and really mean it, once per season. Use it wisely. 6. Thou shalt not loudly discuss either fantasy football or your 'acca' Always, always, always the most tedious conversation imaginable. Unacceptable to be more interested in games taking place on your phone rather than in front of your eyes. 7. Thou shalt not turn an entire game into content The ship has sailed for crowds filming notable moments (penalties, goal celebrations, Leny Yoro warming up nearby), but it is still a bleak sight seeing people 'performing' into their phones during standard passages of play. Especially when hamming up reactions to TikTok-ian proportions. Give it a rest. 8. Thou shalt not look at your phone at all This is my new season's resolution. I have missed one too many goals gazing vacantly at something irrelevant during a break in play which held my interest after the game restarted. This reached a nadir at Harrogate vs Grimsby in April when I missed the following goal while looking at… can't remember. Because look at this goal: Shameful. Never again. 9. Thou shalt arrive on time and not leave early (75 per cent of the time) You are permitted one of the following per match: arriving late for kick-off, exiting before half-time, arriving late for the second half or leaving before full time. No crime to be caught up by factors which can delay arrival: traffic, troublesome turnstiles, delicious, watered-down £6 plastic-bottled lager. No crime to get ahead of the bar queue at half-time, or the crowd when leaving. But pick one, forcing everyone in your row to stand up is a drag. 10. Thou shalt live and let live Despite these judgemental rules, the appeal of watching live football comes from its ability to unite disparate people behind something fundamentally absurd. Those who go to games are in it together, and have more in common with rival match-attending fans than those who consume primarily on TV. Try not to become too angry about the eccentricities and irritations of the people around you. Communal experiences can never be perfect.

Footy fans reveal the stadiums they want to visit the most with Real Madrid BEATEN to top spot by rivals, survey shows
FOOTBALL fans have revealed the top 20 stadiums they want to visit, with Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu taken over by a rival. Barcelona's Camp Nou has topped the list of stadiums footy fans most want to visit, pipping their great rivals Real Madrid to yet another title. 4 4 4 A poll of 2,000 lovers of the beautiful game crowned Barca's ground with an approximate capacity of over 99,000 the most sought-after venue outside the UK to watch a match, while the Bernabéu came second. The San Siro ranked third, reigning supreme in Italy, as the Milan clubs beat out rivals Juventus — whose 41,000+ seater stadium came 16th in the top 20 list. It also emerged 35 per cent of footy fans have a bucket list of grounds they dream of visiting, with 18 per cent of these having as many as five earmarked to tick off one day. Domestically, Liverpool fans had something else to cheer after winning the Premier League this season, with Anfield ranking fourth — the highest of all English venues. The research was commissioned by OLBG ahead of the new football seasons kicking off across Europe, which also plotted the top 10 grounds into an interactive map for fans. Jake Ashton, football editor for the brand, said: 'Football stadiums are becoming more impressive, and across the globe they offer very different experiences. 'It's great to see the two Spanish giants go head-to-head again, with Barcelona this time pipping Real Madrid to the top spot. 'The variety and pull for fans to travel and see the beautiful game played out in different grounds looks as strong as ever, based on the number of pitches on people's bucket lists. 'With Anfield making the top four, it also shows the UK isn't being left behind when it comes to iconic stadiums in world football.' It's not just Liverpool's home the fans want to visit domestically — Wembley came in sixth, Manchester United's Old Trafford ranked seventh, and their City rivals just six miles away at the Etihad finished ninth. Buffalo Bills' new stadium revealed Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, which opened in 2006 and holds approximately 60,000 supporters, rounded off the top 10. Away from Europe, the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro — home to both CR Flamengo and Fluminense FC and considered a national landmark in Brazil — came in 12th. Staying in South America, La Bombonera — home of the iconic yellow and blue of Boca Juniors in Argentina, and the last club Diego Maradona played for before retirement — came 20th in the table. When asked about the most important factors in creating the world's best footie stadiums, excellent views of the pitch (52 per cent) and comfortable seating (50 per cent) topped the list. Another 46 per cent said it was all about atmosphere and crowd noise. When fans were asked to rank grounds purely on their understanding of matchday atmosphere, Anfield came out on top, followed by the Camp Nou and the Santiago Bernabéu. Half of those respondents attributed the buzz in these arenas to the passion of the home fans, while others cited the quality of football (47 per cent) and near-capacity crowds (45 per cent) as key contributors. More than a third (38 per cent) of supporters polled, via OnePoll, also admitted to backing a team outside the UK, with 85 per cent of those saying it's a dream to one day watch a game at their chosen ground. Jake Ashton from OLBG added: 'When it comes to football stadiums, the design, location and the team playing there are all key to their popularity. 'But a ground is nothing, it seems, without the fans who flock there week in, week out. 'At stadiums like Anfield here in the UK, and others across Europe and South America, that passion is plain to see — even for those who haven't experienced it first-hand.' TOP 20 FOOTBALL STADIUMS FANS WOULD LOVE TO VISIT: 1. Camp Nou – FC Barcelona 2. Santiago Bernabéu – Real Madrid 3. San Siro – AC Milan, Inter Milan 4. Anfield – Liverpool 5. Allianz Arena – Bayern Munich 6. Wembley Stadium – England National Team 7. Old Trafford – Manchester United 8. Parc des Princes – Paris Saint-Germain 9. The Etihad Stadium – Manchester City 10. The Emirates Stadium - Arsenal 11. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – Tottenham Hotspur 12. Maracanã – Flamengo, Fluminense, Brazil National Team 13. Signal Iduna Park – Borussia Dortmund 14.

Wanda Metropolitano – Atlético Madrid 19. Lusail Stadium – Qatar 20. La Bombonera – Boca Juniors 4

SEC football stadium rankings by Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor reviews
The Southeastern Conference is home to some of college football's most iconic venues, and so the debate is never really over and the competition is stiff whenever anybody attempts to rank the league's stadiums. This held true for the reviews given to the 16 stadiums used by SEC teams, with very little separating the best places to watch SEC football. Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium wound up at the top of the heap as the best-reviewed SEC football stadium entering the 2025 season, according to a USA TODAY Sports analysis of the ratings given out by users on Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor. But Texas A&M's Kyle Field, LSU's Tiger Stadium, Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium and Georgia's Sanford Stadium weren't far behind and finished among the top-rated college football venues in the country. In all, 13 of the 16 SEC football stadiums had combined ratings higher than 4.6 out of 5 stars. These rankings were different, however, than a recent list published by USA TODAY.

Big Ten college football stadium rankings by Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor reviews
The Big Ten is not lacking for historic college football venues. The Big House, The Horseshoe, the Rose Bowl and even Wrigley Field are among the home fields Big Ten teams will play on during the 2025 season. But it was one of the league's newest members that currently has the best-reviewed stadium in the Big Ten. Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1923, had the best average rating among Big Ten venues, according to an analysis of more than 5,000 reviews doled out by users on Google, Yelp and Tripadvisor. The home of Nebraska Cornhuskers football finished ahead of some of its more famous counterparts and the list differs from the ranking of Big Ten stadiums published by USA TODAY last month. Memorial Stadium was slotted as the eighth-best Big Ten stadium in that exercise. But most of the best stadiums in the Big Ten weren't separated by much in terms of ratings, with 10 venues registering a combined average score of more than 4.6 stars out of 5. Michigan Stadium, Ohio Stadium, Penn State's Beaver Stadium, Iowa's Kinnick Stadium and Oregon's Autzen Stadium were among the other top-rated places to watch Big Ten football.
