I usually go once a year to Dallas (from NJ)and stay at the Omni on Lamar. I love that place, it's a great setup and away from some of the downtown trash in Dallas. I haven't traveled for an away game yet. What place would you recommend to get to for an away game? Titans for sure are on the top of my list but does anyone have any other top away games that are a must?
 
Chiefs. You missed the boat

lambeau was decent. Not all that it’s cracked up to be.
I wanted to go to KC so bad but TG I didnt this year with that performance. I didn't miss that wonderful Denver game though.

The game was terrible and that experience was still worth it. Incredible place. I’ll root for the chiefs to win it - good people out there

Best away game trip I ever took was to Miami when Barry faced Jimmy. The Cowboys won and it was south Florida.

I haven't spent money on a road trip in a decade and have no plans to change. Too many long flights home in the 21st century.
 
I usually go to one game a year. 2021 was a home game I traveled to in Arlington.

2022 there are two games I could drive to in Nashville and Jacksonville. Originally had plans to go to both of those games in 2022, but after what I saw in the playoffs I'm not sure if I want to spend any money on fan experience. I'll probably cave and drive down to Jacksonville to go see Trevor though.

Lambeau.... fine, do it to say you did it, do the stadium tour, but after that... never again. Stadium stinks, sorry. Nothing in the area.
Seattle... AWESOME. Stay right in downtown, great bars and restaurants, walk to game, dont need a rental car... great in every way
New Orleans... nothing more to say
We are doing Tennessee this next season. Thats a no brainer
Tampa, ok nothing special
SF stadium itself stinks.... Ca is always fun
Sofi in LA is awesome. Getting out is a real PIA
Cleveland... YES, Cleveland was great. Great downtown area, we walked to stadium. Took train to our hotel in downtown no need for car rental
Vikings is a great stadium and as the others I liked, you can walk to stadium. Also fun downtown area.
Soldier Field itself is noting special, but I love Chicago. Lots to do at the top of my list for a game
Assuming youve been to metlife.

Thats it for my stadiums

MetLife- was fun. Giants fans talk junk, but it’s a ribbing. A lot to do in NY.
KC- was ok. The city is not fun.
San Fran- the stadium is far from SF, but if you rent car fisherman’s wharf was cool.
AZ- cheap knockoff of our stadium. West gate is fun!
Denver- it’s fun as a city. Fans are obnoxious.
New Orleans- the food, culture, and history is awesome! Stadium is loud. Great place. Don’t go in places without light at night. Lol.
Green Bay- it was an old school stadium with great football aura. Fans are fun to drink with.
Seattle, Nashville, Miami, DC, and my next away games I am looking to check off.
 
Believe it or not, the Eagles nest can be a fun place to watch games if you can stomach the fans. They have a live eagle and a stirring fight song. There is not much in the way of food. Just dogs, beer and Dunkin Donuts coffee/hot chocolate.

If you are a beach - ocean enthusiast...look to book the Jaguars game for next fall.
Also - the Titans game; even if C&W music isn't your thing... just having the opportunity to visit the venues and museums- where nearly all of the legendary performers in that genre revered that location as "having arrived" - and therefore launched their careers to super stardom.

I went to the 2011 Patriots game. Loved Boston and the Patriot fans were cool.
 
I’ve been to Jax, it’s a crappy venue but cheap and it will be 80% Dallas fans. Downtown Jax now sucks bad however but you can stay across the river and there is a ferry to take you to the game. I’ll probably go in 22.

Cleveland is a good set up prior to the snow hitting.

Atlanta is a good set up also.

Was thinking about La in 22, been to La a bunch and don’t love it but not been to the stadium, thoughts?

The absolute best road trip isn’t around anymore but San Diego was absolutely awesome. Perfect weather every time, great downtown, stadium was in a beautiful setting and was half full of Cowboy fans.

It’s a shame they left.
 
FedEx was cool, lots of idiot fans...they hate the cowboys more than they love their team. Wish Dallas had a media team to get the crowd going like they do. Instead they just sell ads
MetLife giants fans were very cool. Saw LT. This was the infamous cat game. They have cool trains to/from the game to Hoboken and then hop on a subway and you're in manhattan for like $35 round trip. Can't beat it
Seattle - been a few times. The fans for the most part are just cocky douches, but once you sit down and talk football with them and they realize you aren't just a bandwagon fan, they're cool
San Fran's new stadium, nothing special. Quite a hike to anything remotely close in terms of parking and it's a mess getting out of there. Fans were cool

Our stadium is nice, but what's the point without home field being an advantage? I'd say it matches the mentality of our team (more glam than heart).

Places I really want to go soon are Soldier Field, Arrowhead, Nashville, and Lambeau. Will probably go to Nashville this year. At some point, I'll go to Philly. Kinda want to go to every stadium in the end.

I went to Jacksonville back for TOs first game I believe. That stadium and the area is a waste.

Yeah, Im with you on the no brainer this year. I went to cleveland back when emmitt got inducted and it is a great spot. Never went to game in tampa but got family in clearwater and the location area isnt anything great like you said. Got what ur saying about GB, thats exactly what I thought it would be.

I'm from NJ also.

Cleveland, New Orleans and Seattle are the standouts for me.

(I've been everywhere except St Louis and Oakland which no longer matter, but haven't seen all the newest stadiums in each city)

Second tier....Minnesota, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, maybe Indy but only due to the stadium.
