Grass Roots: Camp Randall neighbors want UW to turn down the volume at Badgerville

It may be drawing fans without tickets like a face-value hawker, but Badgerville, the organized tailgating party with amplified sound launched by UW-Madison this fall, is too noisy and goes on too long, say neighbors. Camp Randall neighbors have been venting their aggravation about the new “venue” over the Regent Neighborhood Association email network, and the volume of their complaints has been rising since the Oct. 1 night game against new-to-the-Big-Ten University of Nebraska. Badgerville is scheduled to set up camp once more this season, for the game Saturday against Indiana.
