I have been to a number of football games at UW-WW over the years and the energy level is very high. It feels like an FCS experience. The stadium is better than ours. Of course, a lot of stadiums are better than ours...

It's definitely a nice place. I've never been to a football game there, but back when I was in college and spending my summers doing drum and bugle corps (kinda like the NFL level of marching band), we had a couple of shows at Whitewater. In fact, I think my first drum corps show I ever performed in was in Whitewater. It's obviously not a HUGE stadium, but for the level that they play at, it's one of the best out there and is nicer than a lot of FCS stadiums.

Updates to seating on the home and visiting stands on Perkins Stadium has increased the seating capacity to 13,500. That makes Perkins Stadium the largest in NCAA Division III.
