Wembly Stadium, London, England, UK

Now this is a game I would pay top dollar to see. UCLA football in Wembley Stadium, one of the palaces of international football (soccer).

This building has hosted such epic events such as the World Cup, the F.A.Cup and Queen in concert (look them up if you don’t know who they are, you heathens)!

This jewel of European sports is no stranger to hosting big events and has recently been the site for several NFL games. Though the shield has the edge on games in Wembley, UCLA, the Pac-12 and the NCAA should look at this venue for a future neutral site game. The only question now is, who should UCLA play?

Though it would be great to schedule a game like UCLA-USC, a late season matchup might not work for both teams as this stadium is half way around the world. Still, it would pique a lot of interest.

Instead, as a Week 0 or Week 1 game, the Bruins could match with the likes of Tennessee, Clemson, Florida State or, since we were talking about revenge games, the Miami Hurricanes.
