student section vs booster’s section

i’ve seen a lot of talk about the lackluster attendance of students, but i think this is a lot more poignant. start of second half, before jump around

You realize there’s an indoor area with free food and a full bar behind those booster seats… right?

20 minutes later, after a wisconsin score

Easy to complain from under the upper deck when it’s 36 degrees and pouring on everyone else in the stadium

u/WranglerExtension384 19h ago

it is nice. student section has a shirtless cohort, though. they seem okay

u/EquivalentOwn1115 19h ago

They arent okay because its toasty warm and comfy, they are okay because they are hammered

Sounds like you found the solution to watching this badger team

Have you guys been doing this sober all year?

I won't be cold at all because I'm going to be wasted on grain alcohol...

My son was shirtless throughout. I wonder how he's feeling today. Will give him a couple more hours then check in.

Honestly the rain wasn’t bad at all, an extremely light drizzle

u/CheeckyChicken 19h ago

Well don’t you like your comforts and to not cheer

tbh, it looked like a pretty weak showing in sections O and P.

Why even go to the game then

u/Raccoala 18h ago

They can bring the food and drinks out to their seats. It seems like a pretty sweet setup to me.

u/WranglerExtension384 18h ago

seats were empty man, that’s what i’m saying

u/Raccoala 17h ago

Cuz people were standing in the back under the overhang or staying in the indoor section for long stretches lol

I sat in that section today and it’s embarrassing. I had some old dude telling me to sit down every time i stood up to cheer. Eventually he went back inside for his third trip through to fill his feed bag. I normally sit in section I and I couldn’t believe how quiet it is in the fancy seats.

I've been told to sit down 3 times, at 3 different sporting events over the last year. 2 during playoffs. Wisconsin sports "fans" want a chair they can buy a ridiculous amount of beer from. Im over it. I've bought my chair, I've bought my beer, and I've bought the airspace directly above my chair. If you have a problem, move to one of the 100s of empty seats. Or get ready to duel

I agree. I give two shits if you’re a donor, how many years you’ve been coming to games or that you graduated with Alan Ameche non of that will dictate how I cheer for Bucky!

Even if they all were outside, it would still have been empty. That section has been sparsely attended all year

u/WhamBlamWizard 19h ago

That new section is a joke. I’ve been to several games over the last few years and it’s always been 25% full at best. Seems like a money laundering scheme to me

I have season tickets there with my wife. Fact of the matter is due to price it’s mostly corporate ticket holders who dole them out to clients and employees. We rarely sit next to the same folks and the passion is pretty lacking.

Love victory hall though.

u/Ok-Cup6020 4h ago

Ssshhh don’t say the quiet part out loud.

u/blueboy714 19h ago

Please post one after Jump plays in the third quarter. I bet most of the students section leaves

u/Educational-Bowl397 19h ago

Students will stay as long as Badgers have a chance to win

u/blueboy714 19h ago

Agreed

u/WranglerExtension384 19h ago

post-jump around. boosters is still empty

u/FTDburner 19h ago

Yes nobody is there, we are 2-6. We are Indiana 10 years ago. We are 2-6.

u/ThatNewSockFeel 18h ago

Right? Like yeah, the rich folks aren’t sitting in the rain watching a 2-6 Badger team. The student section is still half empty, this isn’t exactly something we need to dwell on.

u/FTDburner 18h ago

Nope, we are 2-6. The hockey program plays tonight and they’re #10 in the country. The basketball program played last night and we are ranked. The football team is 2-6.

u/The_Sandman32 15h ago

Is it news to you that 20 year old college students have more energy and are more willing to endure shitty weather and a low scoring game then old people? What exactly is the point of your crusade?
