Vandy fans, who set that up? That is badass but totally a random opponent and venue. That will be a sweet roadtrip for y'all! More AD's need to get on the NFL venue ball for 1 game a year, that would be a great time for the players and fans alike.

Will be awesome for 14,000 fans in attendance.

UMass will be playing all their games in Gillette stadium I believe so the venue isn't really all that random.

I'd like this, I think. Actually, I'd just like to go to different areas of the country again. Now, any non-conference away game is pretty much Dallas or Atlanta.

Is UMass still on the FCS level?


Congrats aggys, Ms. State, and Mizzou you have a peer in Vandy who travels to their rent-a-win games.

FYI - Gillette Stadium is where UMass plays their home games now.

EDIT: Dang Roscoe! Beat me to it!

I think games in Baltimore, Washington DC, Philadelphia, NYC and other cities we don't get to go to for bowls or non-conference games would be really fun

Just the back half of a home and home.

UT played Vandy in Titans' stadium a couple times a while back (2000 & 02 I think).

I'll echo what Vandyrone said, but I really like the idea of playing in Gillette. I also would not be surprised about 14,000 fans. Lol. It'll be a unique experience!

I want Alabama to play another neutral site game int he Northeast. We played Ohio State at the old Giants Stadium in the 80s.
