To help you put together your road-trip map for the upcoming football season, we've dug around, and put together five trips that every Empire State football fan should consider taking before the 2022 season comes to a close.

When constructing this list, we added in options at every level: from high school, all the way to the professional ranks.

Here's what I can take away from putting this list together: in comparison to states in the southern part of the country, New York may not have the richest football tradition, but there are some hidden gems that are definitely worth checking out. Venues with decades of history, rivalries dating back over a century, and some of the most promising up-and-coming talent in the state make up parts of our list of must-visit destinations.

With that all being said, here are five destinations across New York, mainly upstate with one downstate addition, that should be on every football fan's list of places to visit this upcoming fall. Which destination is at the top of your list?
