    My next Va appointment is on a game day right around pitch… it’s going to be a nightmare getting there since it’s like right next to the stadium… 🙄 ima have to go 3 hours early just to avoid that shitshow.

    But yeah, I don’t do sports things so idk anything about our tailgaters with a few exceptions (below), however I have heard Wisconsin fans travel well for all our teams, college and pro. It’s a fucking shame we don’t have a hockey team, I’d be all over that and know a lot of others who would too.

    My exceptions are having been to packer opening day a few years ago, and going to the cotton bowl in Dallas Texas back in like 2014 or whatever it was. I’m not a sportsball sort of person, but the former I got free tickets because my partner briefly worked for the packers, and the latter we got $15 tickets and used it as a road trip excuse to see the badgers.

    My people know how to food and beer and social around it. Sadly that’s all many of us know.

      Brewers fans are know for drinking all the beer.

      But, aside from some gentle ribbing, I would say they’re far from the worst fans I’ve had to deal with. They may have gotten shitfaced, but they didn’t become a problem.

      (Those would be Philly fans. The superbowl here was the worst night of my career, and I’m just security. My security officers downtown logged more arrests for violence/drunkeness/disorderly in that one night than we’ve had in any other year combined.)
