Any college football fan will tell you there are a handful of sites around the country where an autumn Saturday is automatically a football Saturday. Camp Randall in Madison is one such site. The Badger’s enjoy one of America ’s best home field advantages at home, and the traditions make taking in a game more of an experience than an event. For 10 straight years, the student section has been shaking the stadium, quite literally, in between the 3rd and 4th quarters by dancing to “Jump Around” from House of Pain. The Camp Randall crowd also offers one of the most choreographed “waves” in the world, with multiple speeds and reverses by the crowd. Just be sure to stick around after the clock hits zero, as thousands of fans sing and dance to the UW marching band for fifteen minutes in a spectacle known as “The Fifth Quarter”.

Free tours depart from the lower-level information desk every day at the top of the hour.

A summer-collegiate baseball team, the atmosphere at the Mallards’ home field, appropriately called the Duck Pond, is akin to the movie “Bull Durham”. Every night is a theme night, and each theme is designed to be fun, often frivolous. Average attendance is north of 5,000, and the players are all college ballplayers playing for the summer, meaning seriousness takes a back seat to fun. Be sure to take in a game in the Duck Blind, a one-price all-you-can-eat-and-drink section overlooking right field.

However, the availability pales in comparison to the inventiveness of the toppings. The macaroni and cheese pizza is the stuff of legend, and there’s no better spot in Madison to people watch late at night.
