I have been to over 2300 sporting events but when I walked into the stadium (my 1st time there) I had goosebumps/chills that I only remember experiencing a few times...first trip to Yankee Stadium, first trip to Fenway Park, trip to the Old Boston Garden ...I would say Lambeau Filex rates as high or higher, but growing up in Wisconsin, I have been to over 100 games there so the newness is not there like the others mentioned.
Of course, rooting for the Badgers made part of the day a disappointment but the story of a non BCS team winning to stay undefeated is another story worth experiening in itself.
There were a few letdowns mostly cosmetic but let me just point them out in case future opportunities arise to possibly adjust these:
1) scoreboard - one thinig,, only in one end zone , meant having to turn atround every play to see the replays amd not even having scoreboard with obvious ino,, down and distamce,, yard line,, etc made it a bit on a negative.
having being in teh newer stadiums with all the latest and greatest scoreboards,,,, even the one at the Rose Bowl there was small, compared to what I was expecing in see inthe "grandaddy of them all."
2) I have had end zone seats before so this is no reflection on the fact that my seat was there,,and there is probbaly nothing that can be done about this - unlike the scoreboard issue - but being in row 10, I had a hard time, seeing what exactly yard line the play was ,, stuff liek that, to the point that people around me were turning around and watching the game on the scoreboard..my thinking is..if you are going to pay $150 to watch it on screen? ..staying home would be better alternative of course then you miss the ambiance of it all, and that was the best part for me.
The only other issue I had a hard time dealing with was the coming in and going out and I KNOW that traffic is always an issue,,,but I got there at 3:00 AM and asked 4 different people (who let me preface by saying ALL were extremely friendly, helpful.).EXCEPT they all had diffenet info.
One guy telling me that general parking was in one lot and when I got there waiting for it to open at 4:00 was asked by a policeman (again very friendly, not used to that from cops out east - to the point that I have an attitude towards police that I probably should not have,, but YOUR policeman were nothing but friendly.
So I am not sure if all of your parking attendants had the same info given to them,,, but it was confusing THEN ..at 3:00 AM) .but the worst part was coming OUTof teh stadium,,, no exit strategy whatsoever..people walking crowded (and I know theer were 90,000 plus there,, but have been to games at Michigan, Ohio State, Auburn,, etc with more,,and they were all much easier to manuever ....not the driving part...just the walking back to the car part. It is a disater waiting to happen.
All in all... the positive far outweighed the negative but will also say that the negative is enough to keep me from coming again, moreso though for a "been there / done that" type of thing,,,time to move on to the Orage Bowl, Sugar Bowl,, etc.....plus cost,,,$150 for ticket...$40 to park...all in all is more than this government worker can swing ...comared to the Holiday Bowl I went to two days eearlier at half the cost, less hassle,,.....,but no goosebumps....
