Hello Friday. March 29 2024 For the uninitiated, game day in Madison can be mind-boggling — to say the least. Maybe it's the sea of cardinal and white, the overwhelming amount of coveralls, or the traffic headache of parking near the Kohl Center. Whatever the case, we’re here to help break down the day quarter by quarter to help you secure a W for a Badgers basketball game.

Make your way down to State Street to pick up everything from t-shirts and beanies to face tattoos and coveralls. After all, if you look good, you feel good.
And if you feel good, you play good. Go see the equipment managers at Sconnie Nation and Insignia Campus Apparel for some classic game day looks. For the fans looking for a buzzer-beater apparel purchase, swing by Bucky’s Locker Room located inside the Kohl Center to pick up last-minute gear.
Second quarter: Fuel up The most important thing Badgers can do on game day is eat. What’s a Badgers game day without a Spotted Cow accompanied by a basket of curds?
For those looking for a high-energy bar atmosphere to grab a bite, there’s no place like Nitty Gritty or Echo Tap. If you want to level up your pre-game eats, check out The Harvey House or Bassett Street Brunch Club for a more elevated experience. EVENTS
