It isn't ASU as their stadium has "only" 56,000 seats, but if a college football stadium has 90,000 seats, it would only be the twelfth the largest college football stadium in the US, with the Michigan stadium at over 107,000 being the largest!

That's more than half the population of Knoxville!*

* Estimated at just over 185,000 in 2015.

Got 14months yet until we'll be there, and about 11months until the fixtures are announced for that season

Sorry you had to search. I just noticed this thread and my first thought was ... they need to go to an SMU game.

Re: Dallas College Football

PSU's Beaver Stadium holds 106k and our little town reputedly becomes the third biggest in Pennsylvania on game weekends with the sheer influx of visitors.

I am too lazy to look up how far the drive is from Dallas to Austin, but that was my first thought for OP - if he can get to a Texas (Austin) or Texas A & M (College Station) game, those will be outstanding examples of the pomp and pageantry of American college football. TCU and SMU will be very sterile atmospheres.

I wouldn't rule out getting Cowboys tickets, but they will be much cheaper if they start the season badly.

We can only hope.
