Sorry about that behavior, man. That's obviously super dickish and something myself or many of my fellow Badger fans wouldn't tolerate/would apologize for if we were present. Want to chalk that up to being a large fanbase and therefore having a few bad apples, but not sure what else I can say other than that's not cool.
Lot 60 is rather far out IIRC so don't think it ever gets that full (could be wrong here), but I will say the 11am start time combined with the crap weather, led a lot of people to come at kickoff or stay indoors by the stadium bars beforehand to drink.
Badger fans were really hoping for an afternoon start time, so a lot of us were left annoyed and not fully prepared for the 11am start. Regardless, think we had a great turn out and fun time. Always more fun when you get those few extra hours to drink and party before though.
So one of your main critiques here is that there's a long line to get into what I can only assume is Mickies Dairy Bar on a big game day? FYI that's a campus institution that doesn't fit many people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickies_Dairy_Bar), so not really sure what your point is here. If there's a long line at Rick's or whatever main places you have in Ann Arbor on the day of a huge event, does that mean you have only a few good spots or that one spot in particular is very popular? It's for sure the latter. You're better than this, dude.
Also, maybe stay on campus next time and stay a bit longer? From the sounds of it, your AirBNB was way, way off campus and into the rougher parts of Madison.
Madison is a truly great time when done the right way, so it's a bummer to hear someone didn't have a good experience. All the Michigan fans I hosted this weekend had a great time and I'd love to help you plan a better trip, just like I did for them, if you ever decide to come back to UW! Good luck the rest of the way and hope we can both beat Ohio in back-to-back weeks!

Hope you do decide to come back!
