Countdown to Wisky...Who's in?

[Panther-Sheik]

With it only being about 2 1/2 months away I thought people would probably be starting to make their plans. Who's going and how many? Staying Friday and / or Saturday night(s)?

We have our family of 4 going with a group of 8 - 10 so far. Staying most likely both nights. We'll have to figure out tailgating spots as it gets closer. Can't wait to see the 2012 Panthers!!

We've got a group of 4, and i know of about a dozen people from my office that are planning on going. We're staying at the Double Tree downtown on both Friday and Saturday. Only a mile walk to the stadium, and plenty of bars within stumbling distance to our rooms.

There is a Bar in our hotel that we were planning on pre-gaming at that morning and catching some of the early games. I'd much rather tailgate though.

What is the tailgate scene like at Wisconsin? Do they have big open areas? Or is it congested and right along city streets?

Ive never been to a game there, but from what im told, its very similar to Iowa City... Most parking is in residential neighborhoods, with very few lots.

We have a group of 8 going. We also are staying at the Double Tree downtown both Friday and Saturday night. Great location, but the hotel is pricey. They also have a Badger Sports Bar in the hotel that will be crashed by some purple and gold. Link to the hotel:

I am hoping to go up there. Going with some Wisconsin fans. They can get tickets and I think we have an extra at this point. Any takers?

i am obligated to be in chicago. the late iowa kickoff really pissed me off, although the luxury suite will not.

I just happen to have a brother that lives in Madtown! Four of us will be in the UNI section of the stadium.

Lots of beer gardens, etc. close to Camp Randle, but I have not seen many lots for tailgaiting. It is a scene similar to Iowa City. Thankfully, bro knows someone who lives close to the stadium with a place to park. With the game at 2:30, we will probably stay two nights.

I WILL TRY TO BE THERE WEARING NDSU & CHEERING FOR UNI.

My uncle has 6 seats 50 yard line. IF by chance I or them dont go, who wants them? Ill ask them.

We got a tailgate spot, top level of parking ramp south of stadium about 10 feet.

Group of 6 headed over from Dsm, CR, and Dubuque. We are up for tailgating, but don't currently have any plans. I'm looking for suggestions, if you've got any...
