Not sure why someone interested in the game, fully vaxxed, and wearing a mask would consider the place particularly dangerous.  Unless all those scientists/doctors are wrong about vaccines and masks, there shouldn't be a problem.  

It's not just the 3-hour experience at the football game that's relevant. It's also the airport, the airplane, the hotels, the restaurants, the bars, the museums, the nightclubs, the concerts. When I do a Stanford football trip, I like to extend it into a vacation of a week or more. In a vacation of that length, you can't wear a mask all the time, such as when you're eating and drinking. 

I was planning to go to the Vandy game and to make it an extended trip. A lot of the appeal of Nashville is live music, and a lot of that happens indoors, probably around lots of unmasked people. I haven't decided whether to go.

Different people will judge their risk differently and will have different comfort levels. Chances are that everything would work out fine. But I wouldn't criticize those who are on the fence and maybe decide they don't want to make a road trip at this particular time.

My sister-in-law and her husband live in McKinney, and we're staying with them, along with my mother-in-law, who's coming out from Chicago, so, I agree, this sort of trip often has aspects other than football.  Airports and airplanes will obviously be involved, as will restaurants.  For us, though, those other venues are not likely.

I also agree and respect that folks have different levels of risk tolerance and comfort levels.  No criticism intended for those who choose not to go, but I think the same should apply to folks who do choose to make the trip, as well as to folks who live in Texas [...or in Florida, for that matter].
