Very easily accessible lots of entrances and really hasn't felt crowded yet. Lots of concession stands all over the place as well as little smaller kiosks with people selling various things. In addition, game day is here from ESPN, so it is absolutely crazy out in the tailgate area. Lots and lots of tailgate spaces lots of sponsored areas lots of giveaways tons of fun stuff to do on a football game Saturday morning. Tickets were not overly expensive though, since Indiana is good this year they are selling out some of their games. they also gave towels at each of the seats for the game. Lots of music playing lots of energy in the stadium great day.

I was in the stadium during a graduation ceremony (not mine - it was bad weather and we had to have it elsewhere). But, I never went to a football game. So, this year, we decided to correct that. My wife and I went to see the Northwestern / IU game on and took our two kids with us. It was cold in November, but we dressed appropriately. I stewed over which seats to reserve and when we got there, I realized we had great seats but also, there really is not a bad seat in the house. It was a great time (helped that IU won!). The stadium has a great college atmosphere to it, it is easy getting in and out (we parked at the stadium - easy peasy). We had some football game food that was not gourmet, but better than average for a football game. We just sat on the bench. I saw other people come in with seat pads or seat chairs. I read how someone was not allowed to do so - but I saw others doing it so I don't know what the deal was there. I also had no issues getting the seats that were sold to us. We had a great time and I look forward to going back. My suggestion is go make a day of it and experience some IU with a game if you are going.

I totally enjoyed my visit to The Seedlings U pick flower farm for a Farm to Jar class. The drive…read morefrom Indianapolis was easy and the farm is about 10 minutes off of 69's exit for Sample rd. right before you get to Bloomington. When I arrived to the farm the first thing that I did was cover myself in bug spray and I didn't have any issues the entire hour and a half. Laura the owner greeted me instantly and introduced herself and how she got started with her business while we waited for everyone to arrive. We begun the class at a picnic table setup with a beautiful floral arrangement, sheers for cutting flowers, water because it was hot, 1 large, and 1 small mason jar. We were told the large jar was for ourselves and the small jar was for a friend:) Laura guided us through the rows of flowers telling us how much to pick and how to determine what was ready to pick. We picked the flowers in groups of three or five and all of the arrangements looked beautiful. I would definitely recommend checking out the farm any morning or evening to pick some fresh cut flowers when available, joining a class, or booking flower arrangements for your next event.

After a drive outside of town, we found the farm easily with Google maps, but overshot the drive. As we turned around we could see some of the flower fields and we're so excited... Walking up to the main building, where the sweet owner, Laura, and her family live, she mentioned the sunflowers were over the hill. As we walked the short distance we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the sea of sunnies! They were gorgeous and so tall. At least five different types that we counted while wandering through the forest and cutting blooms to take home. We also enjoyed the zinnias and other blooms to walk through and pick. The flowers are beautiful, but so is the story and spirit of the owner. Take some time to chat with her and you will be uplifted! Our blooms lasted well over a week and we will be back. The five year old with us loved every minute of it, but I think the adults enjoyed it more. Oh, we also got to walk by the cows, goats, and sheep for some extra entertainment. If you can't make it out to the farm for an event, she makes appearances in her Seedlings truck around town at markets and special events. We even saw her in front of Switchyard brewery recently!

It's fairly inaccessible during the day unless you plan to walk- which isn't too bad. Beautiful campus! A tip I have is to try the Kelley Cafe! It's surprisingly great! I don't use that lightly either. The sand which options are some of my favorite in Bloomington!

Lynch is notoriously closely guarded as far as what his film, art, and music are about and what inspires him. And while he never comes out and says "X is about Y", you start to connect some dots together with this film (as well as about eight million more dots appearing). The theater is a fairly intimate theater. I don't think there are more than 100 seats. There are four paintings throughout the theater and curtains along the side, presumably to help with the acoustics. Rest rooms are on the lower floor, and the lower floor also has several vintage movie posters. Venue was very clean and well kept, and staff was professional and attentive. It might not be worth a trip for Bloomington by itself, but it is great to include if you are visiting.

The fries were also some of my favorite kind, battered ! I can't wait to be able to visit their actual establishment, especially if that's what their food truck food is like. Everyone staffing the truck was also very kind. 10/10 experience
