Game Time Atmosphere

What an amazing weekend to be a Wisconsin sports fan; Brewer, Badger and Packer victories. Many of us cheered on these teams with our families and close friends at sport parties. The kind of parties where you gather at grandmas house and there is plenty of brats and hamburgers, chex mix and chocolate chip cookies. Others viewed these games with good friends and a beer in hand. The kind of place where the T.V's are loud, the words are vulgar and the cooler is never ending. Yet, others of us experienced these weekend games at work, like myself. Brisco County Woodgrill represented a well blended mixture of those two types of parties.

This Saturday I was repping my red "Bucky Wisconsin" sweatshirt with crimped hair and a Badger logo sticker on my cheek. I stood by the hostess desk at BCWG unsure of what the night might hold. All of the employees were wearing some form of sports paraphernalia, and dinner time came around the restaurant began to fill with a sea of blue, red and green. All fans gathered in one place, supporting their state. Before long the restaurant was packed and the bar was bumping.

When the Badger game came on at 7pm there was no doubt you could feel the intense and excited atmosphere. The restaurant is scattered with around 30 TVs but the biggest TV is in the bar and the other's are a little delayed. When a touch down was scored you could hear a wave of roars from one end of the restaurant to the other as the touch downs were aired.

Cheers and roars echo from the bar and screams of ecstasy filled my ears. With every touchdown there was one more drink being poured and one more shot being taken. Before long customers are beginning to even further loosen up creating a very entertaining atmosphere, especially from where i stand at the hostess desk. There were people dancing, picking up each other and high-fiving each other  left and right. Everybody there was cheering on and supporting our team in a very proud way, it's a feeling like no other. If i could i would always choose to work during sporting games/events, it is truly and exciting and exhilarating feeling as opposed to what others maybe consider work as.
