Yea, I am originally from NJ, so also got to see family (who are all RU fans). I was pleasantly surprised at the preface tailgating having gone to games in the 70's and there was no one at the games let alone tailgates.
Food was better than a lot of places I'be been, fans were pretty welcoming before the game, a little less so at the end but overall a good experienceIf you travel for games I would highly recommend you make Madison when you get the chance. Best game day I've been to in the Big 10 (haven't made Neb)
WSU is a small school but diehard fans who travel well.
