It became so bad, I started to walk down to the ranger station to complain  But every site I walked by had a TV on the picnic table with the Green Bay Packers first game of the season on.

The folks in Wisconsin take tailgating to a whole new level. We are on a retirement quest to visit all 30 MLB ballparks and while we have seen a few baseball tailgaters, the Milwaukee Brewer fans have made it a fine art. There were several Class A RV's in the parking lot all setup, complete with huge BBQ grill, linen table cloth, and 3 outdoor TV's. We always try to arrive about an hour before game time and these guys looked like they had been there for hours. Yes, to say Wisconsin fans love their tailgating is a HUGE understatement. There was even a large concrete "dumpster" labeled "put your hot charcoal here". I can't imagine what a football game would be like.
