So with this info it should be easy to pick a gamingtailgate destination for a grand real time meet up. I will vote for Kalamazoo due to its close proximity to Bells and Founders brewing companies :nod:. Course El Paso has an all you-can-eat Mexican place :drool:

These are places to live, not visit :D it'll still cost a plane ticket (probably even moreso) to get to these places.

We could all meet up in South Bend, go to a Notre Dame game, get drunk and root against the Irish. :D

Gotta say it is an awesome campus and if you have never been out there for a game you should try it once in your lifetime. I went to the PSU vs Notre Dame game and it was a blast. The town was really cool and the campus was breathtaking. I have never been so happy to find the library in my lifetime, I had to piss so bad it was almost at a point of not caring.

We got to the Casino at 5am started drinking ( I won some cash on three card poker) and then drove about an hour back to Campus. We drank so much that night/day/night I'm not even sure how the heck we ended up where we did at times.
