About Memorial Union Terrace
The Memorial Union Terrace on Lake Mendota's shore is arguably America's finest university outdoor bar — a sprawling lakeside terrace of sun-burst chairs where Wisconsin Badgers fans, visiting sports tourists, and UW students drink cheap Spotted Cow and Old Fashioneds while watching sailboats on the lake between acts at the free summer concert series. Open to the public and operating continuously since 1928, the Terrace captures Madison's unique ability to be a world-class sports town and an idyllic college town simultaneously. On football Saturdays in October, the Terrace with the lake glittering and 80,000 Badger fans heading to Camp Randall is one of college football's most beautiful scenes.
Located in Madison.
