When I was a kid you used to be able to get in free to games when the clock hit 5:00 left in the fourth quarter.  You could catch the end of the game and stick around for the 5th Quarter.  My mom is a UW alum but hates football.  So five minutes was the maximum amount she could tolerate.  But she liked the band so on occasion we would go down to the stadium to see the Badgers clinch a win and watch the marching band.

Camp Randall was also a site for drum corps competitions.  Those were wildly entertaining shows with musicians marching and playing often in sweltering summer conditions.
