Madison, Wisconsin has been ranked the number one college football town in the U.S. by Bleacher Report.
The online sports website looked at the town's relationship to its college program, passion in terms of fan support, traditions, culture and entertainment options on football weekends.
The author of the list said they focused on smaller-sized cities and towns that are synonymous with their college football teams.
Here's what the article said about Madison:
Madison is picture-perfectly located near several beautiful lakes, and it's filled to the brim with all the bars and food options a college football fan can handle. State Street, which separates Wisconsin's campus from the capitol building in Madison, is a happening spot year-round, but that's especially the case on game days. Wisconsin's famous party atmosphere on football Saturdays goes into Camp Randall Stadium, which literally shakes with the "Jump Around" tradition heading into fourth quarters and the post-game "Fifth Quarter" celebration with the marching band. There's no shortage of activities and excitement in Madison, from the great outdoors to the still-great indoors. The town is a melting pot of all walks of life, and everyone comes together to create one of the sport's most famous atmospheres when the Badgers are playing in Camp Randall. It's hard to argue with Madison's dominance of college football town rankings.
