Madison's escape hatch on game day
Ten minutes down Verona Road: the parking is free, the screens are everywhere, and nobody is towing your car off the isthmus.

The Neighborhood
About Madison, Wisconsin
Madison needs no introduction: Wisconsin's capital and second-largest city, home of the University of Wisconsin and roughly 270,000 people famously wedged onto an isthmus between two lakes. What it cannot offer on a Badger Saturday is an easy seat — Camp Randall pulls more than 75,000 people into the neighborhood and takes most of the parking with it.
Verona Road is the pressure valve. US 18/151 runs from the Beltline straight to our corner of downtown Verona, which is why so many west-side Madisonians quietly treat Putters as their neighborhood bar that happens to sit one town over — same game, shorter line, actual parking.
The Trip
Game day from Madison
From the Beltline, US 18/151 southwest is about ten minutes. Watch the Badgers on a wall of screens without paying stadium-district prices — or duck into one of the indoor golf sims in January, when the lakes are frozen and your golf swing shouldn't have to be.

Every Badgers, Packers, Bucks, and Brewers broadcast, all at once — the scoreboard wall doesn't make you choose.
