NU Atmosphere
Nice atmosphere around the stadium. NU fans are the classiest of any of the B1G venues I've been at.

Purdue fans are pretty welcoming too, both times we've played there.

+1... NU put on a terrific show. Enjoyed the pre game and the timeout gimmicks on the field. Entertaining. Also like the look in at the USC - Stanford game. Very good show put on by "world class" Jim Phillips.

I agree, he did get screwed, but how do you like the freebee for the guy who won the wings, I mean really, they just gave him that

Yea, I was shocked the former football player could throw the ball through the goal posts, so difficult.

RE: NU Atmosphere
Scoreboard operator was only glitch on the day. Concession stands were great, good stadium food plus that grill area under the endzone area was awesome. Bathrooms were really clean too. Real big fan of Ryan Field and will be pulling for NU the rest of the season. Class move to acknowledge Mr. Wilkins(?) who died at the game in 2005. Even though I won't be wearing it, have to admit those military NU hats we got with our tickets were kinda cool.

The 1/2 LB Pork Chop Sammich is terrific. Makes the game day experience that much more enjoyable

You must be horribly frightening or something. They're the biggest a**hole fans in the country. I will brook no opposition on this one.

Wisconsin fans try to be Iowa-level douches, but it's not even in the same galaxy.

Q: What does a Iowa football fan and a bottle of beer have in common?

A: They’re both empty from the neck up.
