What is your favorite MWC Stadium to watch the pokes play on the road?
I personally like going down to Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs. Great tailgating, great view, fly overs, paratroopers, and the cadets always make it a rowdy atmosphere.

Agree, best visiting stadium I've been to by far. Always have a good time at Sam Boyd but that's not because of the stadium

I do enjoy Falcon Stadium as well. Their mascot parachuting was really cool.

Agree on Falcon Stadium and the general game experience down in the Springs. Although, I do enjoy making the trip to Vegas when the Pokes play there as there is plenty other things to spend the weekend doing and it doesn't break the bank to make the flight (Sam Boyd Stadium isn't all that great however).

Best stadium that I have ever witnessed the Pokes play in is Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City hands down! The gameday experience and enthusiasm of Iowa fans is tremendous...and how cool is it to wave to the kids in the children's hospital overlooking the stadium.

Have only ever been to the Wolfpack stadium in Reno (went with family, and now have a cousin attending). Fans were pretty cool, but the place isn't the best for handicapped people. At the time at least.

UNLV trip is going to be amazing when that stadium is built and each fan gets an entire row to themselves.

I agree. Absolutely no ambiance in that stadium. Hard to top the city though.

Hawaii of course. Stadium itself sucks but location, booze, and gyros are all amazing.
I'm good for 3!

One of the few I've never been to (along with Fresno and SJSU)...and of course I can't swing it this year with work. I'm pulling for a Pokes bowl game on the islands this year.

Falcon Stadium for me. Have seen some great games there. Especially that 1988 4th QTR. comeback by the Pokes. That was up there as one of the best games I have ever been to.

Haven't been to many MWC stadiums except for New Mexico and UNLV, and Nevada. So UNLV takes it. I've been to Nebraska, Washington State, Montana State, and BYU. Nebraska takes the Cake period. You can't beat the sea of red. People didn't tend to be half bad till they were intoxicated or we almost beat them, then they got a little whiney.

Been to Fresno, San Diego, Las Vegas, Reno, Hughes Ft Collins, Falcon, Albuquerque, Boise(b4 they were MWC members) and Utah St. Went to TCU when they were still MWC members as well. and BYU too(never again) and Utah

Favorite(besides the WAR)....Falcon Stadium 5x and never a bad visit, especially like it was said that 1st visit in 1988 the Comeback will always stay with me. With Utah St right behind, I like the atmosphere there.

Worst---San Diego, Qualcomm is a dump, along with old Hughes in FOCO, Boise wasn't great with renovations and Nevada is a dump on a nice campus.

NEED to visit Aloha in Honolulu and San Jose is it...and of course new CSU

As for cities visiting, San Diego, Las Vegas and always like going to Colo Spgs. hated--Fresno city....

I've been to Wazzu, Okla St, Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Iowa, Oregon(my fave), all against my Pokes and one of these days I'll be at a win away, still kicking myself for going to TCU game a week earlier an not going to Knoxville and the win against Tennessee.

Going to Mizzou this year, SEC country, LOL
It's my hobby, for the rest of my days, 1 away game for the rest of my life......
