My son and I went two years ago and absolutely enjoyed the day in West Lafayette, even got to hold the mallet for the "World's Largest Drum" , went to the Pep Rally inside Mackey Arena too. We stayed in Danville, IL the night before the game, had dinner at "The Beef House" and drove up the next morning. Was just like a piece of Americana driving thru the little towns where people had their flags up so forth. I've driven through Indiana many times going back and forth between Omaha and Cincinnati but this is the first time I got off the beaten path (I-74). If I weren't going to be in California two weeks prior I'd be more than excited to go back to WL again.
