Inside Kinnick has a overpowering booze smell. Don't light a match, poof! We've passed Camp Randall a million times but next year we're taking the plunge.
More son in law and daughter brought their 7 year old son to the game that the Gophers won in 2018; had a blast.
I had batteries thrown at me too. Have the scar on my leg to show for it. I didn't provoke it either
A scar from a battery? They must have really chucked it at you.
Yup. It hurt. Bunch of college kids sitting on a porch. I should have reported it but I'm fine.
How long ago was this? It's always had a vague urine smell as far back as I can remember. I have always attributed it to the wisconsin "just let it go in your pants" philosophy, but maybe it's partly due to guys like you.
Absolutely agree. And what ever you do, if you are walking around outside the stadium, what ever you do, DON’T walk close to the stadium. From experience I made that mistake and got the “welcome” to Badger football, a class of beer from the top row on my new sweater.
Everything with kids is repetition and conditioning them to things. I have brought my 6,4, and 2 year olds to every Gopher football game since they’ve been born (sans 2020, obviously), and have not once left early. Nor have they ever even asked to leave early as they love going. Of course, we load our stadium bags with coloring pads, snacks, etc. to keep them occupied if need be.
Cool story bro. I’m glad your kids were at the Ohio state game until 11pm
Well, the 2 year old was passed out by 9 or so.
It was a Sears Diehard…
Yep no one brings beer or alcohol into stadiums. LOL, you’re clueless there. I haven’t been there for a while but they didn’t hardly check anyone for contraband when I last went. Very easy to tote in drinks and put them into soda cups (that’s what got me and was 100% a beer from grandma). As for the seats very much agree with you there, they are tight and uncomfortable bleacher seats. Portapotties are interesting and the concessions are definitely nothing great.While I got a huge laugh out of some of these great stories...and believe me...there's not much truth in some of them, my favorite are the ones talking about fans throwing beers at them or spilling them on them.
How do I know these are stories? Because I've been going to games at Camp Randall for a while now and they've never served beer. Many times UW friends of mine told me to get my fill before going in. Im sure the university does this because they know how bad things would get (look at a Lambeau Field police scanner report for reference). We can all agree Wisconsinites may drink a lot but it doesnt mean they can handle it. It's also why SOME of the stories about walking to the stadium ARE likely true with how much their students drink beforehand.
Go to the game and enjoy it OP. I also would probably pass on the 2 year old, but not because of the swearing or vulgarity (a 2 year old wont even know half the chants) but because its not a very good stadium for seating and accommodations. Some of the worst concessions in all of college football in my experience.
As more Big Ten schools introduce beer sales at games, Wisconsin Badgers won't follow
Seven Big Ten schools will have beer flowing in their football stadiums in 2019. Seven, including UW-Madison, will not.madison.com
Bathroom sinks are full of bottles and cans brought into the stadium. It’s a cesspool.
I have one. Tailgate with a bunch of my buddies by the law school. Nebby fans walking by and looking around. I asked if we could help them find something, they quickly said no and turned away. I walked over with my buddies and asked again, “no seriously where are you trying to hit?” They wanted to walk through campus and hit some bars or a tailgate of some kind. We had so much food and drink and invited them to ours. They said “no way you’ll probably try to poison us!” I laughed and said “we aren’t Wisconsin fans come on!” They then laughed and told me about how awful their experiences were there. We told them ours over some beers and food. We had a great conversation about our teams and who was good and who wasn’t, who to watch, etc. Then all walked to the stadium through campus as a huge group. Pretty much every other fan was cool to them. One drunk jackov slung some insults and we said, there is always one and they agreed. We shook hands at the gate and parted ways and he told me that if we are ever at Nebby to go to their lot and their spot and they will take care of us. Overall I hope they had a great experience. They lost so it probably wasn’t a perfect one lol!
