I probably wouldn't mind Wisconsin if it wasn't for the proverbial hard on that everyone has for their "environment."
The tailgating all takes place in sports bars, and the stadium is quiet unless the student section decides to stop paying attention to the rock concert and start paying attention to the game.
I'm not saying that it is a bad environment or not a cool stadium, but I don't think it is any better than Michigan State and certainly not better than Iowa.

False. I have a million of these. Madison is cool. Suck it.
Best = Madison (overall)
Worst = Indiana (zippo enirovnment)
MSU was sterile. Not much around the stadium. Stadium was nothing special.
Purdue had some atmosphere, not great. Stadium was old when I was there.
NU is dead, but stadium is cooler than Indiana's.
Minnesota was pretty decent. Great stadium.
scUM rocked, not as hard as Madison. Quieter than I thought it would be.
Illinois was OK believe it or not, not great. Student section was great.
Iowa is very very good overall. Loudest I've been to other than OSU.
Haven't tailgated/partied at PSU (going this year) or Nebraska.
OSU is a great environment, probably on par with Madison.
Look proles, I know you'll find this hard to believe, but your argument about tailgating is irrelevant. You make your own environment. I have had a good time tailgating pretty much everywhere I have gone - just meet up with some buddies, start crushing brews and fire up some grub.
Seff, you're a good ol' boy, a real Hampton OG, but...this is WAY off.
What the heck were you snorting when you visited these various towns/stadiums??

I have had a good time tailgating pretty much everywhere I have gone - just meet up with some buddies, start crushing brews and fire up some grub. Coed eye candy is nice, but you're only going to get anything decent for the first few weeks because once it gets chilly, the goods get covered. The only things the host stadium needs to provide are (a) cool cops, (b) porta johns and (c) a parking spot. The rest is what you make of it. Therefore, talk of "oh, X is such a great atmosphere" or whatever is ridiculous, if you give two $hit$ about the "atmosphere" for more than 10 minutes after getting to your tailgate, you are doing it wrong and you are a failure at life.
