College Football's Ultimate Neutral Fields

Notre Dame and Army are interested in playing games, perhaps against each other, at Yankee Stadium.
Here are other football fields of dreams that we would love to see.
Who fits best at the Statue of Liberty? Army-Navy? Maybe nearby Rutgers?
Perhaps the Liberty Bowl in Memphis may consider switching to the gateway of the nation—The Jets and Giants could also be part of a doubleheader.
Grand Canyon Skyway
End-zone seats should be in high demand at the Grand Canyon skyway. Arizona and Arizona State would be a natural or maybe the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl would have a new venue.
Talk about letting the chips fall where they may!
The Brickyard
Gentlemen, start your scoring! Now this is a neutral field for Notre Dame—at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Irish could meet Purdue or Indiana or the latter two could play each other.
Churchill Downs
The infield of America's most famous horse track, Churchill Downs, is apropos for a match-up between Louisville and Kentucky.
Cape Canaveral
Oh the pregame we could have getting fueled at Cape Canaveral for any number of big games in the Sunshine State.
Florida-Florida State? Miami and the Seminoles? Or Miami and the Gators? How about moving the Georgia-Florida game a bit further south? We imagine Central Florida, South Florida and Florida Atlantic would also be up for games.
Golden Gate Bridge
You thought you had seen it all for The Big Game between Stanford and California, famous for The Play.
Let's lay down portable turf on the Golden Gate Bridge and start playing. Talk about stopping traffic.
Haystack Rock
Just think of the vantage point you could get from Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, OR, for the Civil War Game between Oregon and Oregon State.
Las Vegas Strip
The Las Vegas Bowl would get first dibs, sure, but think of the undergrads who would be willing to travel to the Las Vegas Strip if say, USC and UCLA got tired of meeting at the Rose Bowl or the Coliseum.
Hell
We will give first shot to Texas Christian, whose former coach, Dutch Meyer. once said, "Fight 'em 'til hell freezes over and then fight 'em on the ice."
This would be an appropriate site for any team playing in freezing cold and snow. Since there is no "purgatory freezing over," it could be reserved for any team going into its rival's backyard.
