We also like the atmosphere in the Duck Blind, that we can get up and walk around and talk to each other during the game. The view of the field isn't the greatest, but we love the atmosphere. Maynard and Millie usually come out and take photos with us in the Duck Blind and there are always fun promotions going on. The food is good, the beer selection is awesome, and the games are fun to watch. Fourth of July weekend there are fireworks and entertainment after the game, it's the best! We will return again and again!

There was a little rain but that didn't stop us from having fun at the Quack of a Bat! A Mallards game is must-do summer activity especially for anyone exploring Madison. Not only is it great for community spirit it's also great entertainment. The quack is back with summer fun for the whole family. Some of the Highlights of the night: Star Wars characters you find roaming around the park. Delicious ballpark food and locally brewed beers. The mallards taking home the win. My personal favorite Maverick, the Madison Mallards' superstar bat dog.

We have been to a couple roller derby matches in other cities but not in Madison. We had talked…read moreabout going with friends so we finally purchased some tickets online and made our way to the Alliant Energy Center. The parking lot was quite full due to a big event in the exhibition hall but at least there was no charge for parking. After finally figuring out where this event was being held we made our way into the bleachers (I know why people brought their own chairs). Not being fans it took us awhile to figure out the flow of the match and some of the rules (thanks to nearby fans who filled in the blanks). Unfortunately the PA system was so poor it was almost impossible to follow any helpful information they might have been announcing. The match last almost two hours which was pretty long and a bit repetitive- one half would have been enough. Some good action at times but a bit slow. Interesting enough to go once but I won't be rushing back.

The facility itself is great. Lots of space. A gymnasium, meeting rooms, a gym, a couple craft rooms, and plenty more I haven't seen yet I'm sure. It's kept clean and is pretty nice. All the staff I've interacted with thus far has been great, super friendly. The class I'm taking is awesome. It's pottery 1 so pretty basic but I am definitely enjoying it and learning a lot! The instructor Todd is fantastic and really great with everyone in our class. Overall, I'm a fan!

I took a Pilates class through MSCR over this past winter that was held here. The best thing about…read morethe class was the studio space we were in: large footprint, high wood-beamed ceilings, simple paper shade lighting, and one corner in all windows that looked out onto the snow every peaceful evening. Oh my. That view was the key to my unwinding every week. This is a gorgeous facility! I would argue it is one of Madison's best kept secrets. I had to purchase an annual pass in order to attend the Pilates class, which was really affordable and allows me access to the cozy, lobby space free games of pool, and I'm not sure what else. They also have a fitness center, which operates under a really reasonable drop in rate and is also gorgeous.

The intimate setting is electric since everyone is so close to the action. When it gets loud it rocks! If this place had AC it would be five stars since those late summer/early fall matches on hot days makes for a sauna-like experience especially if your seats are in the upper reaches of the main seating area or in the upper deck. Other than that it is a fun place to see sports especially given the bargain prices for the volleyball tickets.

Going through the security was quick and painless. The security alarm went off due up my metal wallet. So I took it out it was all good. We arrived about 30 minutes before the game started so we hung out near the concessions. We purchased a couple cold beverages. Pricing for the beer was just as expected, it was $11 each. Decided to get food at halftime. We got to it seats to tip. The seats were easy to get to, we were in section 222. The seats were comfortable and the view of center court was perfect. The fans were friendly as I was wearing Spartan gear. I thought I would get some chirping from the Badger faithful. At the half, the lines were long to get food. It took a while to get through but our luck, it seemed the other lines were moving much quicker. While we were halfway to the register we were informed they ran out of beer!!!! I think that is a sin to run out of beer in Wisconsin! We got our food, I got pizza and my friend got a brat. Prices were as expected , I forgot what I paid for both of us but it was about $23 total including a water. We arrived to our seats a little late as they started the 2nd half. Overall, I had a better experience than my Spartans as they lost by more than 20 points. I did hear about it from one fan I responded, "That's ok, I still feel good cause I'm a Chicago Bears fan!" And he quickly gave turned away and has nothing else to say. LOL. I had a good time. Slow concession lines and running out of beer (at least in our concession stand) is why i rated it a 4. I'm sure Tom Izzo would have given his experience a 1 star.
