Big Night on State Street Not as Wild as in ’70s or ’80s

Saturday night?s Halloween crowd on State Street wasn?t as big or as rowdy as those in the late 1970s and the 1980s – but it was close, said Madison Police Capt. George Silverwood.Minor injuries and at least 10 arrests resulted as the estimated 60,000 to 70,000 merrymakers rocked the streets and State Street bars until almost 3 a.m., Silverwood said Sunday.
