San Diego. Always wanted to go to the Holiday Bowl when we were offiliated. New Orleans would be great though. Third would be Orange.

honestly, I have always been a bit envious of all the Hawk fans that have been to Pasadena and the Rose Bowl....

Rose Bowl for sure.

Second option would be the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. And I mean the REAL Cotton Bowl.

Third option would be when they open that new stadium in Vegas.

New Orleans is overrated, don't @ me.

If you take a wrong turn in the French Quarter, it doesn't take long to end up in one of the dangerous areas.

Yeah, one time I was put up in a "haunted" hotel a couple of blocks off of Bourbon Street. I think "haunted" just meant that a lot of people got murdered there!

Vegas is fine but it's too shiny and sparkly. I prefer seedy and murderous.

Just go to downtown Vegas (not Paradise where the strip is) and then walk past the container park
Even in downtown Vegas, it still feels like you kind of have to work at it to get into the murdery areas. In New Orleans, it almost feels like they're funneling drunken souls into the murdery areas. Maybe it has something to do with the traditional Voodoo culture.

"Seedy" was probably not the right word. It was more that we were in dangerous areas. Not "seedy" as in "debaucherous."

Phoenix gets my vote. My family celebrated Christmas in Phoenix one year and it was fantastic.

You could make a snowbird trip of it with Vegas being about 4 hours away, Lake Havasu City being about 3 hours away, the Grand Canyon being 3 hours away. Not to mention Camelback Mountain is nearby for hiking.

Not seedy and murderous enough.
