  and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting on Game Day "live"
  to get on camera and wave to the idiots up North who wonder why
  game day is never broadcast from their campus.

Only a couple. You have UM, the Horseshoe, Notre Dame and maybe two others that hold 60K or more. There are three in Florida, two in Alabama, two in Texas, and two in South Carolina. And then we have one huge one (and the two in TX that are about to be huge) in Florida, one huge one in Louisiana, and one huge one in Tennessee.
