We probably burned that bridge when we rejected their opener

Plus, a 1-1-1 is challenging to find a third site with some sort of geographic sense:

Chicago is fine relative to the two schools, but I hate the idea of off-site games in Chicago because we'd be playing 90 miles from campus in a smaller stadium for no good reason.

Milwaukee probably doesn't have an appropriate venue since County Stadium has been demolished.

Green Bay is tiny and in the middle of nowhere, although there is good history with ND and the Packers to tie in if we wanted to do that.

I can't even imagine UW letting Minnesota and ND come play at Camp Randall, though the fans might love to pack it just as an excuse to drink and to root against the Gophers (or both teams, really).

Winnipeg might be interesting, but if we're looking to play in Canada, I think Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, and Calgary would all be better options. The Blue Bombers stadium has seated ~50K for Grey Cups, but I don't think it really could hold that many any more.
