go badgers

Saturday was the first home football game of the season for UW-Madison. Dave and I didn't have tickets, but figured if we couldn't buy any at the stadium, we would at least be able to enjoy the game day excitement around Camp Randall.

We walked from our apartment along the bike path, thinking we were so smart to use the bike path instead of the sidewalks. Well, great minds think alike and a lot of folks had that same idea, too. It was a parade of red all the way to the stadium.

The atmosphere before we even got in was a lot of fun. Tons of people, tons of parties and great fall weather. It turned out there were still some tickets available so we got in! We finally made it to our seats in the upper deck and here was our view.

I thought the seats were great. I like the birds-eye view of the field and plus we could see two lakes - Monona and Mendota - from up there! The student section finally filled in - 6 whole sections - J through P!

The Badgers won and we enjoyed a very Wisconsin-y lunch of brats with spicy mustard. Here we are (brats not pictured).
