College Football Tour Offers A Comprehensive Gameday Experience

One superfan shares his journey to thoroughly experience a game at each of the 134 FBS stadiums

The goal of attending a game at all 134 FBS stadiums across the country is a massive undertaking. However, I couldn't think of a better way to spend an autumn afternoon than stadium hopping.

My name is Andrew Bauhs. Elementary school teacher by weekday and college football superhero by weekend, I am a born Midwesterner who has been brought up on the teachings of the Big Ten Conference. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, and the Badgers are my team, but truly, all of college football is my playground. I appreciate and celebrate every team and every stadium. There is really no better way to spend a weekend.

The focus of my journey is to highlight the traditions, rivalries, mascots, bands, and fans that make each venue unique. Exploring these stadiums means delving into heavily tread cities like Los Angeles and falling off the beaten path to places like Laramie, Wyoming and DeKalb, Illinois. The history that seeps from these stadiums is captivating and thoroughly saturates the attention of all onlookers. Each stadium has a story, and by attending a game at each of these arenas, the stories are told by the wild fans, loyal and enthused players, raucous students and band members, and the hallowed grounds where legends have walked.

I leave no Saturday unturned and venture to these places. I listen and watch intensely to grasp the enthusiasm all around. Sharing these experiences through videos, images, and words is my passion. All 134 stadiums have a story, and I intend on interviewing each one of them.

College Football Tour - 2023 Schedule

The final game of last season brought me to a milestone - 100 stadiums. This quest to experience a gameday at all 134 FBS stadiums will continue in the 2023 season as I have an extensive schedule planned that includes eight new stadiums as well as some revisits to familiar venues.

As I travel to these destinations, my goal is to share those adventures here at KillerFrogs.com through descriptions of the gameday experience complemented by photos and videos. The stadium reviews will provide insight on what makes gameday special at each location.

At least sixteen games dot the calendar this fall. Here's the 2023 schedule:

College Football Tour and the Big 12

I am no stranger to the Big 12. A few previous tour stops include Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia. This year, I will be in Lawrence for my first Kansas football gameday. That same weekend, a return visit to Kansas State will be in the mix.

In 2021, the 88th new stadium on my journey was to Fort Worth to take in the TCU gameday experience. Later this week, before the season begins, I will highlight the traditions and fanfare that make a visit to The Carter so memorable.

This year, the Big 12 welcomes four new teams - BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF. I have yet to make it to Provo for a BYU game, and my 2010 visit to Houston is outdated as they no longer play in Robertson Stadium. Visits to both those campuses will be scheduled in future seasons. Cincinnati and UCF have received the College Football Tour treatment, and before the season starts, I will also be sharing my stadium experiences for these schools.

Next year, the Big 12 welcomes four more teams - Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. As the 2024 season nears, I will share my stories of those adventures to help Big 12 fans become a little more acquainted with their new league mates.
