I published an image a few days ago in the story about the 1931 Wisconsin-Minnesota game that showed fans watching the game for free by standing or sitting on a fence. Rather than paying for the best seat in the house, those fans paid nothing for the best seat they could find outside the house. To honor those fans who refused to pay the price, I offer this selection of images. (Click the images to enlarge.)
