13 best neutral sites for college football games i

in the Land Down Under, of all places.The season opener Friday at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, Australia, is just one of many regular-season neutral site games we cant wait to see this season.These rankings are more about the site and le s about the game being played there. We didnt count bowl games,otherwise the Rose Bowl college footballs best venuewould be No. 1. Its still the best.MORE: We stuck with the regular-season matchups, and here are the 12 best for college football games in 2016.13. Sports Authority Field at Mile High (Denver)Its a fitting venue for the Rocky Mountain Showdown between Colorado and Colorado State, a game that went into overtime last season Patrick Maroon Jersey . Its a beautiful stadium, too.12. Alamodome (San Antonio, Texas)The perfect getaway for Notre Dame and Army fans Nov. 12 in San Antonio. The Alamodome seats 72,000 and is situated in a beautiful city. Its a bonus to see the Irish and Cadets in action.11. Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Fla.)Its the home of the Citrus Bowl, too, but this year it gets a power matchup between Ole Mi s and Florida State on Labor Day, one that will have a huge impact on the College Football Playoff race. 10. MT Bank Stadium (Baltimore)Thats where the Army-Navy game is this year as part of its rotation between Baltimore and Philadelphia. The pageantry of that game alone is worth it, though we mi s the games at Veterans Stadium. Its still a bucket-list game everybody should attend once Adam Larsson Jersey .MORE: 9. EverBank Field (Jacksonville, Fla.)The Florida-Georgia game will be played in Jacksonville for at least the next five years, and adding a game between Notre Dame and Navy is a bonus. Thats a nice tag-team for a stadium that seats le s than 70,000 for NFL games, but does addseating for other major sporting events.8. NRG Stadium (Houston)The home of the Texas Kickoff might have its most-compelling matchup to date this season between the hometown Cougars and Oklahoma. Future matchups between BYU-LSU (2017), Ole Mi s-Texas Tech (2018) and Ole Mi s-Baylor (202) are nice touches.7. Aviva Stadium (Dublin, Ireland)Its football overseas and you have to wake up at 7:30 a.m. to watch it, but its Wayne Gretzky Jersey at least an interesting venue for Georgia Tech and Boston College to try this season. The last game in 2014 between Penn State and UCF produced a fantastic finish. The novelty hasnt worn off yet. We like it.6. Georgia Dome (Atlanta)This is a show of respect for a venue that has hosted so many cla sic college football games and gets the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game between Georgia and North Carolina. Dont worry, the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium will break in with style next year thanks to a Alabama-Florida State matchup.5. ANZ Stadium (Sydney, Australia)Thats how were going to kick off this college football season when Cal and Hawaii meet Friday night. ANZ Stadium seats 83,500, which is a plus, and its the first college game there since 1987. Well check it out for sure.MORE: 4. Cotton Bowl (Dallas)Were a sucker for the cla sics, and the combination of the Texas State Fair and the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma Jean-Francois Jacques Jersey andTexas is beautiful. The Cotton Bowl is a cla sic venue rich in history, and you cant beat that. Air Force and New Mexico will also play a game there this season.3. ATT Stadium (Arlington, Texas)It still looks like a spaceship landed in Arlington. Its a magnificent sight for first-timers, and the enormity of the stadium is perfect for the AdvoCare Cla sic between Alabama and USC in Week 1. Arkansas plays Texas AM there three weeks later.2. Lambeau Field (Green Bay, Wisc.)Wisconsin and LSU meet in the season opener at the NFLs hallowed cathedral, and it will be interesting to see the locals painted in red-and-white instead of green-and-gold. Its going to be a site, but its one wed prefer to see in November, when the elements start to kick in.1. Bristol Motor Speeway (Bristol, Tenn.)This could emerge as the greatest spectacle college football has ever seen. There could be as manyas 160,000 people in attendance for a fantastic matchup between Tenne see and Virginia Tech, and its bound to set thesingle-game attendance record. Its going to Benoit Pouliot Jersey be hard to top this one.
