Hey GidGBR, I am a Husker transplant in Madison. If you want to meet up with other Husker fans before the game tomorrow, go to Echo Tap tomorrow. It will e about a mile walk from there to the stadium but there will also be shuttles too. Essen House is another Husker friendly bar to go to. It is a ways from the stadium, though, north of the capital. There are a ton of bars on Regent street. They are all pretty much the same, with the ones closer to the stadium being more crowded.
There are not many parking lots around the stadium for tailgating. But there are few around the UW campus that do tailgating. If you are willing to go early and wait in line, Mickies Dairy Bar is a good place to go for breakfast. Expect traffic to be crazy tomorrow due to Freakfest.
