Just curious. I have been to about 40 games, lots of different teams, quite a few different stadiums. However, never been to a bowl game. Which bowl games have you been to?
 
Only Alamo. And many.
Wait. There was a Palm Bowl in the RGV many years ago. May have gone there too.
 
What are bowl games ?

My first bowl game was the Orange Bowl after the '83 season...still hurts a little, a grew up a Nebraska fan.

Only been to the Sun Bowl. But I went to every one of them from 1980-2007.

Proximity helps, I've lived in Birmingham, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Tampa, plus a few places without bowls, all but a few National Championships are from being local.

First was the Orange Bowl after the '83 season...Nebraska-Miami, my Dad took me, I was in my teens. Last was the Gasparilla Bowl last year...youngest son went to Georgia Tech. Not sure how many, but quite a few, more than 15, less than 20 probably.

If we get to host a playoff game this year I would go to that. If not I probably won't hit one this season.
 
The only post season game I've attended was the Big XII championship game in San Antonio when Nebraska beat Texas.
 
Citrus
Gator
Hall of Fame/Outback
Peach

Basically Georgia & North/Central Florida ones.
 
Sugar Bowl - 3 Times
Cotton Bowl - 1
Rose Bowl - 1
Peach Bowl - 2
Hall of Fame Bowl - 2 times in Birmingham and 1 in Tampa after it moved
Birmingham Bowl - 3 times

SEC Championship Game - 3 Times

It is! :) I sure wish the Big XII could be affiliated with the Sun Bowl again.

I doubt it will be. The Arizona schools, Colorado, Utah, BYU, Texas Tech, Baylor and TCU would vote against it because they consider it a "meh" trip for them. I'm not sure where the Sun ranks in payouts. If it is high enough, that might change their minds. Money rules CFP now.
 
No bowls, but I got free tickets to the 1998 Big 12 Championship game in St. Louis between Kansas St. & Texas A&M. Turned out to be a really good game.

Argh! I never have understood the Pac disdain for the fabulous Sun Bowl. Sheesh, Alabama is a perfect 3-0 there, and you went to all three games! 1983 vs. SMU, 1986 vs. Washington and 1988 vs. Army. Good enough for the All-Time Bowl King, so what is not to love! If Alabama or Iowa State ever go again, I would try to make the trip. :)
 
Only two bowl games

Went to LA to see UGA blow out TCU for a natty

Also saw Johnny Manziel’s last college start. Forget the name of the bowl, but it was against Duke in the Georgia Dome, and it was a very good game. Manziel lead a pretty big second half comeback to get the win
