What stadium would you like to see a game at?
Note: The question is about the stadium, not the game in the stadium!
For me it would be Memorial in Austin and Ratliff in Odessa.
I'm not really a "stadium guy" and I'm not picky at all when it comes to stadiums.
The new ones - Waco ISD, etc... certainly don't have any special appeal to me!
In the past few years I saw my first game at the Mustang Bowl, Tyler Rose, and Shotwell.
I wasn't in awe, but now I can say I have seen a game at them.
I've seen a game at just about every major college's stadium except Texas.
And Ratliff is the only high school stadium that comes to mind that it'd be nice to see a game at just to be able to say I saw a game there.

Seriously & objectively, what special appeal does DKR in Austin have other than if you are a Longhorn? It will be very nice again after the renovations are finished, but it is never mentioned by football people who travel the country as one of the best. It has needed work for quite some time to be honest (lower bowl, etc.). Kyle Field has made the list many times, esp. when A&M was dominant at home in the '90s (3 decks on each side, The Zone, 12th Man, etc.). So does the Swamp, Notre Dame, Michigan, Tennessee, etc.
For me, I would like to watch a game at Michigan's Big House, Florida's Swamp, Tennessee, Nebraska, & I guess Notre Dame. Anywhere in the South would be a treat, like Georgia...

Well, I am a Texas fan so that is the appeal of DKR.

Gotcha.
I have been to Wrigley Field but the Cubs were out of town (just walked around & stuff). Yankee Stadium & Fenway Park are dreams too, but my parents did go to Fenway. I have always wanted to travel to every MLB park when time & $$ permits. Maybe one day!

Agreed. I've seen a few there: Cameron vs. Cuero; Refugio vs. Lorena; Temple vs. Houston Yates; and Caldwell vs. Cuero.... and it didn't do much for me. Also, it's getting dumb how both A&M and UT always seem to try to one-up each other with "renovations." Before long, they'll be wanting to destroy I-35 to make room for more "VIP" seats where you can't see anything.
