Anna attended her first Badger sporting event over the weekend. Unfortunately, we had to take her to Northwestern to do so. We made the trip down to Evanston Saturday to watch the Badgers battle their way to a 56-50 victory over the Wildcats.
Anna had a good time after a rocky start. Our tickets were in the upper part of the upper deck, which consist of bleachers that are dark and all too close together. The large number of Badger fans at the game made for a loud atmosphere, which made Anna cry through the first 5 minutes of the game. On a side note, despite the fact that this is possibly the worst gym I have ever seen Division I basketball played in, it is definitely worth the road trip, as tickets are much easier to get than in Madison.
After sneaking down into the Northwestern Student Section (plenty of seats available!), Anna really enjoyed herself, and actually watched some of the game. Melissa was the hero of the day though, holding Anna and keeping her happy when she started to get a little whiny in the second half. Her arms were a little sore afterwards!!
We didn't make it to the end of the game, but we stayed until the game was in hand with about 10 seconds left. Here is where our original seats were...
