How many Big Ten stadiums and Big Ten arenas have you been to?
Holy crap I'm jealous
Just Crisler for basketball, but I've been to UM, Maryland, Northwestern, and Penn State for football. Planning on Iowa this year. For hockey, I've been to Yost, Munn, MacInnes, Berry, and Ewigleben, plus The Final Five at Xcel and the GLI at LCA. Aside from MacInnes, Yost is by far my favorite place to watch a hockey game. I know, those aren't B1G arenas, but who likes B1G hockey anyway?
NW, MSU, OSU.
My favorite experience is at NE WK9. I am a friend of a friend to Bo Pelini. I was on the sideline for the awful game in 2012 on the Nebraska side. I shot the shit with Adam Devine from Workholics the entire game. I walked out the tunnel with the team, slapped that horseshoe thing. Amazing experience. The NE facility 10 years ago was absolutely beautiful.
Just a couple of football stadiums - The Big House (obviously), and also PSU and MD. Neither of those are nearly as nice as UM's facility.
I've not only been to each of the 14 Big Ten Football Stadiums, but I've seen Michigan win at all of them plus Notre Dame, Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl. My Dad and I started this in the 1990s and last year's game at Nebraska completed the cycle. Due to Dad's health we won't be making UCLA or USC.
Hoops, not too many: UM, MSU (both Breslin and Jenison) and NW.
Football: Michigan, MSU, OSU, Northwestern, Wisconsin.
Checking off Iowa this fall. Hoping to check off Nebraska next fall. I’ve been to Notre Dame & Washington who may both become B1G members in the near future.
Basketball: just Michigan
Football: UM (haven't seen a loss, probably like 10-0), UI (3-0), PU (1-0), NW (1-0), Iowa (0-1), RB (0-1 USC after 2006 season)
Basketball: Indianapolis for Tennessee game this year (1-0)
We live in Kentucky, so probably try for Illinois before long. We have tickets for Indiana again.
I am new to the BIG through my son. Football, only been to the Big House (7 games) and Maryland (vs Duke…I know that barely counts as football). Also Crisler and Yost. Did all three sports over last Thanksgiving.
I live and grew up in the midatlantic also have been to football games at
UVA
Wake
Duke
UNC
NC State
And a couple of Peach Bowls (including Michigan)
For basketball
UVa, both University Hall (old) and John Paul Jones
UNC both Carmichael (old) and the Dean Dome (including v Michigan last December)
NC State both Reynolds (old) and PNC (new)
FB Stadiums -15 if you count attending the '98 Rose Bowl game. Missing: LA Coliseum
BB Arenas - Attended games in Crisler, Breslin, Schottenstein, Mackey, and Welsh-Ryan. Walked through Ind and Minn.
Edit - OK, since people are going beyond the OP question with OOC games/sites, etc:
Besides the aforementioned 98RB, I've seen us play FB at: ND, Colorado, Oregon, Wash, and Hawaii. Walked through BYU.
Also attended the 2018 Army-Navy game in Philly and 2004 Miss St @ Alabama
I have been to football and basketball games at Michigan, MSU, NW, Maryland and Illinois. I attended a football game at Nebraska.
For Football: Michigan Stadium, Spartan Stadium, Ohio Stadium, Beaver Stadium, Maryland Stadium, Ross Ade Stadium, Memorial Stadium (Indiana), Memorial Stadium (Illinois), Memorial Stadium (Nebraska), Ryan Field, Camp Randall Stadium, Kinnick Stadium and Metrodome.
For Men's Basketball: Crisler Center, Mackey Arena and Welsh-Ryan Arena. Been to Assembly Hall (Indiana) but not for a game.
For Ice Hockey: Yost, Munn and Troll Center
For Women's Basketball: Crisler and Breslin
Two.
Big House for every game while I attended: it was a 15 minute walk.
And @ Rutgers because it's close to legacy son's office/apartment and we still like to watch the Good Guys play.
Michigan Stadium,
The Snake Pit in Ohio x4
Spartan Stadium x4
Camp Randall Stadium x3
Purdue x2
Northwestern x2
Illinois
Plus I've seen them play at Notre Dame x4 and the Rose Bowl x4 and in Boulder Co. Plus i'm sure a few more.
Eight.
Haven't traveled for basketball. But football? 8 if you count the Metrodome. 9 if you count the Rose Bowl.
Football:
UM, MSU, OSU, Iowa, Nebraska, Rose Bowl. We have the best building of all of those. Nebraska has the best crowd. I have inexplicably never been hassled in Columbus.
Basketball: Crisler, Jenison (which was a great basketball barn), OSU St. John Arena (also a good barn), Nebraska. All of those were better than Crisler. Yes, even Nebraska. Pinnacle Bank is a better building.
UofM, MSU, Illinois, NW, OSU, Purdue, Iowa, Indiana, ND, Jerry’s World, Rose Bowl 97.
Just a handful to see a B1G game:
Michigan Stadium
Spartan Stadium
Dyche Stadium (back before it was renamed Ryan Field)
Crisler Arena (back before it was renamed Crisler Center)'
Jenison Fieldhouse
Breslin Center
A handful more of venues that B1G teams occasionally or formerly played football or basketball, but not to attend a B1G football or basketball game:
Yost
Soldier Field
Silverdome
Cobo Arena
Wrigley Field
Chicago Stadium
And a couple more sites that were formerly football stadiums, but again not for a game:
Stagg Field
Ferry Field
I've been to 9 Big Ten towns but only 4 of their football stadiums and 3 BigTen basketball arenas.
4 for football (Big House, MSU, Illinois, and Maryland). Also went to Lucas Oil for a game too.
1 for Basketball.
Michigan, Indiana, Rutger, Illinois, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue, Minnesota
Only Michigan for basketball
Football (6) - Michigan, IU, Purdue, Northwestern, Michigan State, Penn State
This year is Iowa and Ohio State. Next year is Nebraska.
Don't care: Rutger, Maryland
As a fan
Football: UW 3x (UWvsPUR/L/L), OSU 2x (W/L), PSU (W), UM
Basketball: UM
Working:
Football: ILL
Hockey: UM, UM, UW, MSU, OSU
Have also seen M Football at AT&T 2x (L/W), Rose Bowl 3x (L/L/L), Notre Dame 2x (L/L), Sugar Bowl (W), Utah (L); and M Basketball in San Antonio for the Sweet 16 (L) and at UCLA 2x (W/L). Have seen a bunch of non-UM Rose Bowls too.

Football: Big House, Trash Bowl in East Lansing, Camp Randall, Northwestern. Not many but I can claim a minimum of 2 visits to all of those. Probably 20 to Ann Arbor. Maybe more.
Basketball: Crisler, Breslin, Northwestern.
Notre Dame for football is a pretty great experience. Twice there.
I have to get out more.

My son & I have gone to all except MN & NE. Also, not going to the toilet bowl in ohio. Sad, but fearful of our safety. Losses in WI, IA ( night game on a last second fg a few years ago) & the last year at East landfill
August 5th, 2022 at 12:06 AM ^
Football: Michigan, MSU, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern
Basketball: Michigan, MSU, Purdue, Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern
Unrelated, but currently on a road trip through this weekend that will get me within one stadium of seeing all of the MLB ballparks. It feels good to be closing in on a lifelong goal even if it’s not quite on par with curing cancer or saving the planet.

I’ve been to MSU, PSU, Iowa, Indiana, and Wisconsin. All of them cool in their own way, except Indiana, that was a bit lame.
For those who have gone to OSU, is it worth going and was it civil enough? I want to make it there one day (maybe this year?) but some in the group have had seen or heard of too many bad experiences
FB: Iowa, MSU
Hoops: NW (early 1990s, felt like a HS game!)
From what I've heard from M fans - Columbus is not a safe place to be for many fans (PSU fans hate the crowd there) but especially for our team.
