San Diego's a fantastic city. That might even be better.Des Moines. Make it essentially a home game for ISU.
I don't know about tailgating, but I'd guess you would want a city with a mild or warm climate that's relatively easy to navigate and has a nice venue to host the game. So I'd start with a list of cities like Miami, New Orleans, San Diego, Houston, Phoenix, and Vegas. I haven't been to all of these places, so I can't speak to their navigability. You can cross San Diego off the list until/unless they get a new stadium. I'd cross Miami off the list since it's an open air stadium so there's the risk of rain for the game. Personally, I think Vegas would be a blast. Easy to get to, plenty to do before the game, warm and sunny, and they have a brand new retractable roof stadium that will be finished in a couple years.
I'm assuming that Angie's paying for the stadium and all of our travel. I did exclude international locations or I might have chosen Sydney or one of the Greek Islands. The stadium and travel for all of us to Mykonos might be a little too steep, even for Janny and her.
We really shouldn't even give them the courtesy of letting them call it futbol, even if they bastardize the pronunciation with silly umlaut and tilde sounds.
All of New Orleans is seedy to a certain degree. That's the charm of it.
"I go to New Orleans for the arts district", said no one honestly.
If you take a wrong turn in the French Quarter, it doesn't take long to end up in one of the dangerous areas.
