Is the total amount I contributed to my college in exchange for football stadium tickets deductible ?

No. If you make a contribution to a college and receive the right to buy football tickets, then the amount of the contribution is limited to 80% of the contribution to the school. The deduction is allowed only to the extent that you received the right to purchase the tickets rather than the ticket costs themselves.
