it does, because it is.
but, hey, they're trying, right?
though, given that it's fucking WI, have they already tried the "Drive Sober" challenge? They're not as bad as the Dakotas or Iowa, but boy does it sure spike after the Packers or Brewers let out.
Too bhe faaaair. Wischonshin hash sheveral ofthe the top drunkesht cities innn thse nashon. (just checked and We now claim spots 1-4 +6, 9, 10, 12, 15, and 20. I do not help this statistic but I don’t drive drunk.)
We apparently don’t care, as a whole. There are so many more bars than anything else in most rural/semi-rural areas because non-bar third spaces aren’t a thing. It’s just the only option for people to go to be social.
But we also have had a very regressive government for a long time so..
oh yeah. but, uh, don't feel too bad. WI is 26th worst in the nation, over all.
That said, for comparison, MN is the 45th worst state. (MT SD, TX, ND, WY are the top five, apparently.)
I remember a time when the Brewers were in town, I was working security for an event lot near Target Field, a coach bus showed up. the underneath cargo area was about half-filled with beer- maybe a fifth of that space was in coolers clearly marked "BEER". the rest of that half was cases of beer all the way across. Then a quarter was coolers marked as various forms of meat. then there were enough grills to get that done in a reasonable time frame; and the rest was chips and condiments and stuff. Somebody else drove a trailer with chairs and shit.
Mostly, I was impressed by how efficient they were at tailgating. Not that its allowed (Minneapolis requires you to pay a ~~bribe~~ permitting fee to tailgate)
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.)
