I saw this today...from ticketcity. Top avg. prices for tickets to this year's games:

1 Penn State vs. Notre Dame September 8 State College, Pa. $1,100.00
2 Michigan vs. Ohio State November 17 Ann Arbor, Mich. $1,000.00
3 Notre Dame vs. USC October 20 South Bend, Ind. $950.00
4 Michigan vs. Notre Dame September 15 Ann Arbor, Mich. $696.00
5 Notre Dame vs. Boston College October 13 South Bend, Ind. $661.00
6 Florida vs. Florida State November 24 Gainesville, Fla. $581.00
7 Auburn vs. Alabama November 24 Auburn, Ala. $571.00
8 Texas vs. Oklahoma October 6 Dallas $555.00
9 Georgia vs. Florida October 27 Jacksonville, Fla. $515.00
10 Nebraska vs. USC September 15 Lincoln, Neb. $505.00

If money is no object, I would choose Ohio St/Michigan, USC/ND, or Bama/AU (biased obv.) Contrary to the earlier post, I would not want to go to Nebraska/USC. There are no rivalry aspects to it, and there are no championship implications, except national championship implications for USC if they get upset, but they will likely be better than 2 TD favorites.

if you want to lay 2 TD against the Corn at home, I will be happy to take that action.

Maybe I'm overestimating. USC -10 more realistic? I've still got their trip to Arkansas on my mind I guess.

Yep, 10 is right. I still like the Corn, but maybe I'm looking at it through rose colored glasses.

Ohio State @ Washington.

Hey, misery loves company and this will likely be a miserable game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

BUT, should the Huskies win this it'll be one of the biggest upsets of the year and you'd have wished you were there. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Enjoy the game at Camp Randall -- it's a great and fun venue. Let me know if you want any advice re places to go afterwards (GF is a UW grad).

If you have aba's stacks of money lying around in your den, Has to be UofM/OSU.

If your budget is more pedestrian, pretty much any SEC matchup between two competitive teams should be wonderful.

QFT. Louisville/Kentucky tickets are still available; Lexington is a wonderful town and atmosphere for tailgating and the game should by all means showcase two of the best offenses in the nation and possibly 1000+ total yards.

SI's take on the 20 best games of the upcoming year. USC/Nebraska nowhere to be found. LSU/Florida is #1, UM/OSU #2, and my original suggestion, UM/Wisconsin, is #6. PSU/Notre Dame is #20, but I can't see why that game really matters that much at all.

The game itself doesn't matter to the overall BCS picture, but the OP wanted a fun stadium, a good atmosphere and a good town. Happy Valley offers all of that.
