There are now newer concert venues, but back in the day, the  classical
music concerts in Madison, WI were held at the Stock Pavilion on the
UW Farm Campus.  They'd clean the place up and put down fresh
straw, but you could always smell the manure.  Acoustically,  though,
it was Wisconsin's Carnegie Hall.
 
Nothing like Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra in the spot where cows are ordinarily paraded.
