I've got a 3-5 year window before my wife

considers retirement, and even then, she may not, as she is too young and loves her job. She told me, if you want to go to the games and travel, do it now, becuase when she retires, she will not be attending any football games - and like you, the travel destinations change. Saw a few last year, and will chase my ass this year as well. Lane is scheduled in two years, as I'll be along the East Coast, and start North, and work my way South. It's expensive as all get out, so I'll avoid the top games.

FSU will be fine for sure. But I don’t know if they will get an invite. **

You don't think the Big Ten would want to add FSU given all their snowbird
VTHokie2000 • 02/05/26 01:28 PM ET
I don't. I could see Miami ahead of FSU. **

My thinking is the draw on TV is likely a wash. If you're talking trying

I don't disagree that the TV ratings are probably a wash. Likewise, I

Aside from JAX, the other cities are as close to Miami as Tallahassee.
reestuart • 02/06/26 02:24 PM ET
Right now, I agree with you that it would be a lot easier to get tickets in
VTHokie2000 • 02/06/26 02:34 PM ET
As I said, it’s an open race and FSU has a chance. But they’re behind Miami**
RandomAsianGuy • 02/05/26 11:14 PM ET
I'm not sure anyone is necessarily ahead in that race though. Given the

No they are not. Butts in seats and viewership matters. FSU better for both**

Lots of schools run up construction debt

Don't think that kind of debt can be considered a good thing

Major stadium renovation just completed - less cheap seats,
PadrosWindup • 02/03/26 08:26 PM ET
I know it’s trendy to renovate but FSU's stadium capacity has been reduced

Exactly how I feel about going to games. After going to a few NFL games
