Gopher, what does your fan base think about the deal?

Our fans are overwhelmingly positive about the Lambeau game - we had 40,000+ fans up there for a college hockey game a few years back. With Lambeau's renovations and the quality of the opponent, I wouldn't be surprised if this game will be the hottest ticket of the year in WI.

As far as the Houston game? More of a 'meh' simply because of the location of the game. Most Badgers would've been in favor of a game in New Orleans (or Baton Rouge), but we still are excited to play the Tigers.

Some are skeptical that LSU will opt out of the Lambeau game - the logical ones realize that LSU is the lone SEC program that isn't afraid to travel.

A lot of Badger fans have been wanting LSU on the schedule for awhile. Death Valley looks like an incredible venue (esp. those night games) and your fan base seems quite similar to ours in terms of having a "party-like" atmosphere at ballgames.

Our program seems to have taken a real nice approach to OOC scheduling (thanks Alvarez, playoff) and we realize we need to schedule these types of games in order to make a run at a MNC. Looking forward to our matchup(s)!
