Nick Nice’s Tailgate Origins and Role

Happy Homecoming, Badgers! UW-Madison will face off against the Iowa Hawkeyes in the 117th Homecoming Game in UW history Oct. 11 at Camp Randall in a battle for the Heartland Trophy. But before the Badgers kick off, the fans party. And each neighborhood does things a little differently. To get the scoop on how and where Madisonians tailgate, executive producer Hayley Sperling and host Bianca Martin chat with local DJ Nick Nice, who’s helped bring the party to Regent Street for the past decade.
