Nine years later, after the death of coach Curly Lambeau, the stadium was renamed. Lambeau Field now seats in excess of 60,000 fans. It's more likely, however, to find single-game tickets advertised in a newspaper or by word of mouth. If you go to a game at Lambeau, go early and have a tailgate party amid the Frozen Tundra. You'll never forget it.
School buses provide transportation to the games from most Green Bay motels for a nominal charge.
Badger football games for many years were more successful as social events than gridiron displays. The band got most of the attention. But since the arrival of coach Barry Alvarez in 1990, the quality of play has improved and the fans have had more reason to cheer. Wisconsin's appearance in the 1998 Outback Bowl was its fourth bowl game in the last five years. The others were the Rose Bowl in 1994, the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1995 and the Copper Bowl in 1996.
