Headed to the game and thought I remember hearing there's a pregame gathering in Madison... did some checking and think I found it. Anyone partaking in this?
Also, I noticed that this pub is about 9 miles away from the Kohl hole... even with the bus ride, seems a bit far. Is there a spot closer to the stadium which MU fans are headed?
