This board doesn't appear to be all that active but I figured I'd post here anyway.

I am going to be in Madison this weekend for the game and staying at the Marriott Madison West. We are arriving Friday evening, and staying through Sunday. I'm looking for some suggestions on a good place to catch dinner Friday night, and tips on parking and getting to the game. We would like to park on campus if that is possible but are not averse to doing something before the game at a restaurant/bar that does a shuttle back and forth. If on-campus parking is possible, how early should we plan to get there?

I have a son on the EMU team so will be getting player tickets through him. Does anyone know where visiting team families usually end up sitting and what gate to enter through to be close to there?
