I've been to quite a few B1G stadiums at this point in my post-college career and Camp Randall didn't seem to have a bad seat in the house, but the lack of food selection diversity was a drag. We waited over 30 minutes for a hot dog in a line with no more that 10 people in it, and the cashier was chit chatting while everyone missed almost an entire quarter of game-play (I'm assuming that's just midwestern culture, but I don't need to chat, I just want my food and then I want to get back to my seat to watch some football). We also jokingly deemed Camp Randall "Ramp Randall" because of the ramp system to get into the upper decks. read more

Camp Randall Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Camp Randall Stadium at the University of Wisconsin may be one of my favorite college stadiums I have ever visited! It's an absolute it way gorgeous stadium with an electric energy that makes Saturday's the best day of the week for the UW faithful or the weekend fans like myself! It's an older stadium, but it's in wonderful condition for what it puts up with between fans and the winters. It's a very easily navigable stadium with clear signage, multiple ways to the same place which limits congestion, well mapped out and copious food options on each level along with a good amount of bathrooms plus porta-potties for overflow. Not a bad seat in the house! We were too level about 25 rows up and I was in love with our seats and views of the game. Seating is aluminum benches, so I would advise a cushion or seat of some sort. My fanny would have thanked me a million times over if I would have thought of that prior to the game. Overall, absolute love Camp Randall Stadium, Badger football Saturday's, and the 80,000 Badger faithful that I spent time with on Saturday! Oh, and you can't forget Jump Around at the end of the third! What a great tradition that electrified the crowd more than a Badger touchdown! read more

Date of visit: August 30, 2024 It's unfair to compare Camp Randall to the professional stadiums, even though it is revered similarly amongst Madison fans and alumni. That being said, it is a nice facility that is in good repair with friendly staff. We were in a suite for a work function and again, not fair to compare it to Lambeau Field or the Brewers stadium despite having a similar layout and feel. The food is definitely not on the same level, especially that there is no dessert cart option here! However security could be better, one of the attendees in our box had their kid and his friends access our suite despite not having tickets for this level. Seems like a recipe for disaster, especially now that alcohol is served at the games! If you get a chance to experience Camp Randall (and it's not crazy cold outside!) you definitely should check it out. read more

Iconic football stadium of the Wisconsin Badgers. They renovated the south end zone a few years ago and the stadium is an amazing experience. Be prepared to belt out "Sweet Caroline" and "Build Me Up Buttercup", and then "Jump Around," the now infamous tradition at the start of the 4th quarter. One of the best college stadiums in the country, and the many bars and tailgates surrounding the stadium are legendary. Awesome fans and a fun experience for any college fan! read more

Nice stadium in Madison, WI. There is a limit to bags/things you can bring in but it might be possible to bring in a bigger purse. They're not as strict as other venues, especially if you're not a student. The seats are bleacher-style metal and have no backs. You can purchase a seat pad with back which does help. The sizes of each seat though mean you're still sitting basically on your neighbor. Be prepared to get close. The food options are limited and more expensive than out on campus but not bad for college football options. Got nachos and a souvenir cup soda for $13 + tax. The marching band had a number of excellent performances, including 5th quarter. So happy we stuck around for that. read more

It's a beautiful venue to see a college football game. I sat on the 25-yard line in the lower bowl, and the sight views were excellent. The parking was easy to get to and it was only $5.00. The bus will drop you off at the stadium and drop you off at the parking lot. The food was also very good, but it is way overpriced. My bratwurst was $9, and my coffee and hot chocolate were $5.00 each. The parking lot and the concessions inside the stadium don't take cash, so don't forget a credit card. read more

Legendary college football venue. No beer (unless your in the club seats or the new field house end zone seats). Not a bad seat in the house. Be prepared to "Jump Around" after the third quarter, do the wave, and sing Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. Go Badgers! read more

Camp Randall Stadium - Season opener 2022 - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Lifelong Badger fan, first time at Camp Randall. The energy at CR is amazing! Seating (4/5) The bleachers are, well, metal. But I've sat in the front row and I've sat in the very top row--there isn't a bad seat in the house. The band (5/5) is superb! They even came up to our section (D) and played for us during the 4th quarter. Bucky (5/5)--the best mascot in college sports! Bucky's entrance on an old fire truck is legendary. His push-ups for every point the Badgers have scored never fails to electrify the crowd. Jump around (5/5). Don't leave before the beginning of the fourth quarter! Jump around is a very cool 25-year tradition at Camp Randall--really fun. Concessions (4.5/5) Don't sleep on the pulled pork sandwich or the bratwurst (Johnsonville). Coffee shop is so cool it feels like Starbucks. Overall really good college football experience. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first college football game experience and I have to say I am completely disappointed. Whoever is coaching these boys needs to be fired. There was a zero on the scoreboard for Wisconsin, which was very disappointing. I didn't see a lot of diversity amongst the team in general. It seems like the coach hasn't done the scouting or management necessary to run a team at that level. It should behoove whoever is coaching quit and save the sanctity of the sport and state. read more

We visited Camp Randall this past weekend for the Gopher vs. Badger game and had a great experience. We went with a friend that had seats on the 40 yard line and in the Buckingham Suite - both were amazing! I love how packed the stadium gets, you truly can feel the energy from the fans and students. There are some great traditions that keep the nostalgia for alum as well. The food we had in the Buckingham suite was delicious! There was great variety and everything was especially tasty. We loved the seasonal Pumpkin cheesecake, Mac & cheese and soft pretzels. The staff we encountered were also phenomenal. The bartender in the suite was especially wonderful, chatting with us and giving us snack suggestions! Overall, I would recommend coming to Camp Randall for a game - whether you're rooting for the home team or a visitor! read more

I mean "On Wisconsin", what else is there? Camp Randall is an iconic Big 10 stadium and just a fun place on College game day. There's really not a bad seat in the house to take in the game. As other reviews have noted the concourse, especially the lower level is a bit cramped. It's not terrible, but you will be elbow to elbow. The neighborhood surrounding Camp Randall is full of energy on game day and adds to the experience. Any review of Camp Randall wouldn't be complete without acknowledging the House of Pain and "Jump Around" at the conclusion of the third quarter. Don't miss it by being anywhere other than the bowl during this special time of the game. While you're at it, stick around after the game to catch yourself the 5th quarter. All around awesome game day experience... read more

I am a stadium tourist, and Camp Randall was my 97th stadium to watch a pro or college game at. On the positive side, the energy at the stadium's energy is awesome. The wave was epic, Jump Around was ridiculous (especially since Everlast from House of Pain was in the stadium), and the random appearances of brass players in various parts of the aisleways around the stadium was perfect. Conversely, virtually the entire stadium is bleechers with fixed fixed cushions for some season ticket holders. My wife and I purchased two end-of-aisle seats that ended up being next to a pair of portly season ticket holders. When I asked if he would be able to move down slightly, his response was "no, these are my seats", leaving barely enough room for one of us to sit and forcing us to find empty seats somewhere else. The concession tunnels were packed so tight with people that it was nearly impossible to move around. We routinely walk the entirety of the stadium concourses we visit, but gave up after a quarter of the first level because it was just too difficult to move. That said, the real issue was the fans. We sat near several season ticket holders who were amongst the rudest people I've been around at any sporting event...and I've been to a Raiders game in Oakland. The guy sitting behind me could not stop using the F word for every single play that didn't result in a 20-yard gain, and reiterated just how bad the QB was, as if he would have been far better. At least he managed to use various semi racist remarks when identifying the QB for the opposing team (the irony of which was that the QB was from Hawai'i). The guy sitting behind my wife had the same exquisite vocabulary, but also managed to put his knee in my wife's back continuously because she wore a Chicago Blackhawks hoodie and, to use his words, "you f*%#ing Illinois assholes need to get the f*%# out of Wisconsin". Never mind that my wife's sister is an alum of UW and we were rooting for the Badgers; being from Illinois somehow made us unworthy of being in attendance at his stadium. It was so bad that we finally moved to the concourse and just watched the game from the standing room areas. At a price of $68 per seat through the UW website, this was an absolute disappointment and a mistake I won't make again. read more

I went to Camp Randall for the UW Madison graduation. The stadium is clean and has a seating capacity of 80,000 seats. There are plenty of concession stands and has disability access. The vibes at Camp Randall during football games are absolutely amazing - it's a great experience. The stadium gets very packed and you can absolutely feel the energy. Parking can be tricky - you might have to park a few blocks away and walk 5-10 mins. I love this stadium! On Wisconsin! Overall rating: 10/10 read more

Great stadium with great people - but awful food. Overall the stadium has had its ups and downs, but the Badgers and the staff and fans do their best to make everyone have an enjoyable time at Camp Randall. But sadly the concessions for the past 5 years or so have taken a huge downturn - unless you are sitting in the sections by the Field house. Most other areas have almost no selection - Brats or hot dogs. Period. They have some bagged chips and cold cheese they pass off as nachos, but really the food quality is just as bad as the selections. This year they added alcohol - which is great - but again the selection is a bit odd. Coors which taste awful and a local Potosi beer which is okay. If you walk and walk and walk and walk and walk and walk (and miss most of the game) you can find a few other things like amazing pretzels (by the student sections) and other food options by the field house. Still a Badger fan (Go Bucky) but eat before you go. : ) read more

One of the nicer college football stadiums I have been in. The concourses are very closed in however and there are not many bathrooms which creates crazy long lines. The seats are spacious compared to other CFB venues. The atmosphere despite top 20 teams playing was underwhelming. read more

What's better than a Badger Game, 5th Qtr, and 80,000 fans. How about ... a night game, but the light of the moon, by bright shining light, by the light of the moon ... if you want to be a badger.... And 50k of those fans day drinking for 12 hours. Actually, it was more mellow than normal; either the play of the teams or fans went home to nap/comatose. read more

I love live sporting events especially football (professional or collage). Hell, I've even been to a handful of Arena Football Games. I also frequent Brewer, Bucks and other UW Sporting Events. Camp Randall may not be the best venue in this group, but it is defiantly the most entertaining! Even if you are not a fanatic, like I am, you have to get to this stadium for a game. (Night Games are the most fun) Here are some things to plan for: Before the game -Find a Madison Area Bar that offers a shuttle bus to the stadium. They are usually cheep and will save you parking headaches and $. -The Badger Band will "warm up" and have a pep rally across the street at Union South. -Walk around the stadium and check out all the parties, food and festivities. Breese Terrace is fun for Fratlike parties and Regent Street is the best for the bar fan. During the game -20 min before kickoff the Band marches onto the field. -A few min. before the start of the game a cool video will play on the scoreboard and the team will come onto the field amongst all kind of fanfare! -The well trained student section will entertain you with many songs, chants, dances and activities. Watch for the wave, the slow wave, the fast wave and the double wave (in that order). Beware- Some chants will be R rated. -Near the end of halftime the band will play "Varsity" and everyone will sing along. -During the 3rd Quarter the Band will break up into small groups and serenade individual fan sections with fight songs throughout the stadium. -At the end of the 3rd Quarter you can cheer for the Student Section Scoreboard Race followed by the biggest tradition... the Jump Around! -in the 4th Quarter the Tubas will parade around the stadium. After the game -The 5th Quarter. The Band will take the field again (win or lose) and do another 20 mins of fun, crowd participation music and activities. -After leaving the stadium you may want to head to State Street for more parting (if you have any energy left)! I have been a season ticket holder since the early 1990's and I have never thought about non-renewal, even when I moved 2 1/2 hours away from Madison about 15 years ago. The entertainment is great, the stadium however is old! With that said, UW has done a great job adding on, and updating this venue over the years. The food is nothing great, even though they have tried to upgrade it many times. The seats are benches (you will get amount 12in to fit whatever size ass you have)! And there is very little legroom. Be prepared to get to know your neighbor! Wish I had more room, but you get used to it. Hope to see you there... Go Bucky! read more

There is nothing more that needs to be said except to go to a game there if you have never been! read more

I really was impressed with the Badger experience. The outside of the stadium is like one big walk around tailgate that has food vendors and a lot of restaurants joining the fun too. I had some of the best street food here as well tried a restaurant or two. This is a stadium where you can walk around and have a lot of fun. Very good location for the stadium. Stadium is really nice, another stadium where there didn't seem to have a bad seat. Has on jumbo tron and a smaller one. I took a shuttle for from our hotel that was only a few bucks, any fan could do this. Looked liked parking wasn't too bad. The Fan base is very respectful, lot of nice people outside and inside the stadium. The tradition of the 4th quarter "jump around" is really fun and energetic as you see on TV. There is a lot of energy inside once the whistle blows. I really enjoyed this place. I really liked this stadium and city of Madison. The city is top notch and have nothing but respect for UW and Madison. read more

As a graduate of UW I make a point to come back here each year and always have a blast rain or shine. We purchased covered seats last weekend since it was raining and many people had the same idea. Great stadium, energy, and crowd make this one of the highlights of my fall festivities! It's always worth the 4+ hour drive from the Twin Cities! Even though I'm not a student anymore it's still just as fun to sit outside of the student section with other alumni and Wisconsinites who love their Badger football. read more

Camp Randall might be the most fun stadium I've ever been to. And I've been to quite a few, including the Big House, the Superdome, the Horsehoe, and Death Valley in Baton Rouge. I came as a visitor and wasn't sure what to expect outside of jumping around after the 3rd quarter. Despite having lost and it being cold and wet, I had a blast. The atmosphere is amazing. The people are incredibly friendly and love talking football (especially trashing other schools in the B1G). I would go back to Madison in a heartbeat. read more

It's hard to beat the environment at a Badger football game! I've always had a good experience with friendly fans and a fun, positive setting. There are plenty of bars and beer tents surrounding the venue, so the party goes on well before and after the event. My biggest beef is about Camp Randall is the difficulty in parking. Sure, you can pop a good $20 to some homeowner to park in their yard. I'm not content with that. If you're fine with walking, you can find free street parking down toward the zoo - the earlier the better. Often you can find a free spot right next to someone charging $15 for parking in their yard. read more

An awesome place to catch a college football game. Whether you are a Badger fan or root for the other team the atmosphere here is contagious. Tailagate like a Badger on one of the many bars on Regent Street that have a beer garden!! Join over 80K fans for "Jump Around" at the end of the 3rd quarter and make sure to stick around and listen to the famous UW marching band for the 5th qtr!!

September 27 Dear Bucky, I'm sure you've heard by now that Bernie and I are on pretty rocky terms lately. It seems to happen every year. He has the same story every spring; this year will be different, this will be our year. And this year was different, for over 150 days. He was everything I wanted and needed him to be, the best in years. But then something went awry, and it all fell apart. He let me down AGAIN. And it hurts. I mean he's been my guy since forever but a girl can only take some much! So, I'm coming to see you today. You've always been there for me. Every time Bernie lets me down. Your big smile with your pushups and your Jump Around makes me forget everything else. Your team and your band and just being in your house is the best medicine I could ask for. So we'll be there shortly and can't wait to party with you today!!! Love Always, Carrie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx September 28 Dear Bucky, Well you did it! You made me forget all about Bernie and how much he's let me down. Your 11am start inspired an awesome tailgate of breakfast burritos and bloodies and that was just the start! You ensured perfect fall football weather, a full stadium of enthusiastic fans. Parking was a breeze, arrive at least three hours before game time and plenty of open spots within 3 blocks charge less than $20. Love the new food options (all things Wisco like cheddar curds ($6), brats($5) and pretzels with beer mustard ($5) but we really need to talk about this alcohol thing, I really think you are old enough to host a responsible party. And your team put on quite the show. Big yardage by Gordon and nice tackling by Caputo made for an exciting game on both sides of the ball. It that McCoy kid steps up his game and the O-line plays like a classic Badger unit you could be smelling roses. Your band was on point (Build Me Up Buttercup is a sure crowd pleaser) and you were everywhere spreading your cheer (that's a lot of pushups). You really know how to throw a party for a full five quarters. And most importantly I was having so much fun I was able to ignore all the text messages from Bernie and how badly he was being beat up by the Cubs. I will certainly tell all the people they should come see you anytime, but especially if they need to forget and just have some fun! Thanks for all the love, Carrie read more

Camp Randall Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I had to Badger you, but I was wondering, if you were me, how would you Randall all the criticism? Would you do a better job than me? What do you mean I come across a little Camp? Well maybe I want to be, did you consider that, girlfriend? First-Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium - Camp Randall is one of the biggest stadiums in the country, but from my 2 or 3 visits here (including for one sports game) it wasn't one of the best. I did enjoy it, and the tailgating in particular was fun, but unless you're in the student section, this isn't the best college football atmosphere I've seen. Also, the stadium has a very block-concrete look about it, which doesn't really do it for me. I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 or 8 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at, or visited when empty (and usually both), at almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I will upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** Madison is a sexy girl name but it's also a city in freezing frozen tundra Siberia brrrr Wisconsin. Which is also one of the best places in the world to get food. I haven't had much in Madison yet but try the Chili at Kroll's East (Green Bay), try the Butter Burger at Mihm's (near Oshkosh), try the Butter Brat at Charcoal Inn South (Sheboygan), and try the Gyro at Oakland Gyros (Milwaukee) as well as the custard and banana shake at Leon's (also Milwaukee) and if you're still hungry, get a Chicken Kebab from Golden Gyros. Wisconsin is one of my fave states and this stadium is absolutely awesome. Filled in on all sides (like my gf), the stadium is a sea of Badger Red and intenseness, and the whole state of Wisconsin seems to come here and support them. Okay it's not as loud as a Packer game but it's still pretty awesome. It only loses a star because the tickets are horribly, horribly expensive. read more

The atmosphere is positively electric at Camp Randall Stadium. Preconceived notions and a bias toward DKR in Austin had me thinking this review wouldn't go higher than 4 stars. But it's undeniable, Camp Randall is a 5 star stadium. After tailgating with some Badger fans, we headed into the stadium, where we had fantastic seats to watch the game. Oh, it was most exhilarating. The Badgers of Wisconsin took on the Buckeyes of Ohio State, and in the end the Badgers triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a giant H. It was a most ripping victory. Actually, they did a lot more than that, unseating the #1 Buckeyes by a score of 31-18. The stadium holds about 80k, but they really pack 'em in there, so the crowd was wild the entire game. Many people are familiar with the "Jump Around" tradition after the 3rd quarter, but in truth, they play a lot of classic songs throughout the game, and the students know the words to every one. They really love their school, which is a thing to behold. The "5th quarter" is also famous, but in this case, it consisted primarily of rushing the field after the game. As I mentioned, the seats are packed, so it's tough to keep going and coming from the concourse. So when half of our crew brought back Bratwurst dogs for the other half, it was just icing on the cake. Much better than the hot dogs you'll get at other stadiums. In the end, Camp Randall Stadium sits high on the list of best venues to catch a college football game. read more

I'm a Badger, so it's hard not to love this place. Live football, beer, hotdogs and excitement all in one place. Also located right off the cities community bike paths (there are miles and miles of the in Madison). I haven't been by in a while, but I heard that they were moving the old obelisk to a new location... Not a big deal, but I always thought it was part of the cities charm. I want to go check it out again. #coxmaddox read more

In my opinion it doesn't get any better than Camp Randall on a brisk Saturday watching the Badgers play. This place has it's own culture to it with all the fans packed in with the sea of red. It is so fun to see the student section, always rated as the best or most vulgar, do all their cheers. It adds excitement and keeps you entertained during the game with the 1st and 10 Wisconsin chants and much more. Once you go to a Badger's game here you will know what I am talking about. Great place for watching football. read more

Camp Randall is a majestic landmark of college sports. I am fortunate to live in the city that hosts this stadium. Even better the Badgers have been one of college's best football teams in recent years. I went yesterday with my son. We were able to score great tickets from StubHub for about $50 each because they were playing a college team that most people haven't heard of (Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles). As expected, the Badgers rolled. Enough about the Badgers, though -- this is all about Camp Randall. The stadium is massive. It holds more than 80,000 people. It is the 41st largest stadium in the world (according to WIKI) and holds just a few hundred less than Lambeau Field. You walk in Camp Randall - it's awe-inspiring. Most of the seats are uncomfortable aluminum benches. However, if you score good tickets, you can get padded seats with back support (which we were fortunate enough to have). Before the game, you get to check out the offenses practicing sets and then the Badger Band get the crowd riled up (they're great and highly regarded, BTW). The crowd is all decked out in cardinal and white (mostly cardinal) and really into the game. Even without booze at the stadium (there's plenty of booze to be had outside the stadium), this is one of the most lively crowds you'll experience -- from waves, cheering, vocalizations and (of course) the "Jump Around" tradition in the 4th Quarter. It's so much fun! They do not need big giveaways or t-shirt guns to get us Sconnies amped. The concessions are a little bare-boned, but you can get water and soda between $4-$5 (not bad in today's market) and brats, hot dogs and subs for around that same price point. If you live in Wisconsin or are in Wisconsin during the football season, there is no other place to go for such and experience and not have to mortgage your home for. If you live in Madison and don't visit, even if you do not care for football, you're totally missing out. Tip: For the real experience of Badgers football, pig out at Mickies Dairy Bar (across the street) pregame - disregard health and eat their pancakes, scrambler or corned beef hash to satisfy any food needs before observing/participating in Badgers football. Note: Protective parents beware. This is a college stadium. The students section has traditions of loud cursing chants -- bring your "earmuffs". read more

Going to a game at Camp Randall is something every sports fan should experience! Put it on your bucket list. Great energy, fun times and wonderful traditions like, "Jump Around" and The Fifth Quarter. These things were always fun, but now you also get to see one of the best teams in the Country! I recently had the privilege of watching them beat Michigan, 24-10! Our wheelchair seats in the end zone gave us an interesting view of the action. The staff was friendly and helpful. The concession stands had lots of choices, but on this, cold, blustery day, we opted for the more traditional, Brats, Pretzel and much appreciated Hot Chocolate. We got there early, parked about 8 blocks away and enjoyed a leisurely, entertaining walk to the Stadium. Hopefully, we'll be able to get to a game next year too! read more

Well yes, "Yay! I'm a fan," but of the visiting team that had a surprising enough odd victory that even our coach said "Wait, what happened?" It's a big, famous stadium and it's thrilling to come here. I don't know about the alumni complaining about the prices, the concession and ticket prices are reasonable for a Big Ten football game. The climb up to the visiting fan section is steep and arduous, Mount Kilimanjaro is easier by comparison (not an exaggeration), but this means even the up and distant seats have pretty good sightlines (though the players look like little red and purple ants). Lots of stupid drunks but not more so than any other Big Ten game (except the shockingly sober Ryan Field games). The benches are uncomfortable and if everyone shows up (and everyone does) then there's not enough room for even healthy adults. This is Wisconsin so many of us are beer-and-bratwurst-obese thus there really isn't enough room to sit down. This is typical of Big Ten stadiums, so again, comparatively speaking no stars lost in grade. The one negative is that they made no effort to clear the snow, which I heard from regulars is S.O.P. here. The result is that the seats are extra uncomfortable (though I was wearing water resistant snow pants), and many of the drunken fans throw snowballs the whole game. They threw snowballs at their own cheerleaders. They threw snowballs at the referees, who ended up calling Wisconsin on some really odd penalties. How often do you see "illegal hand signal" on a punt return? I think the snowballs may have worked against the home team. The Wisconsin marching band is excellent, in spite of arctic conditions they put on a great halftime show. I've been here a few times now, it's better when Northwestern wins, it's better when it's not frigid cold, but I've always enjoyed myself. read more

Camp Randall Stadium - Too cold to describe - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Haven't been here in years but still a place with a lot of entertainment. And who doesn't want to "jump around?" One friend said he paid $9 for a brat but in fairness it was like a foot long. Was a little confusing finding out way in as we walked to gate 2 but our tickets said gate 3. They would not let us in gate 2. We ended up walking almost all the way around the stadium to get to gate 3. It would have been a lot shorter if we had gone back toward gate 1 to get to 3. Always a good time at Camp Randall weather it's a football game, concert, foot race that ends here, etc. read more

Oh, Camp Randall. I can't give you anything but 5 stars. I spent many a hot and cold day here, cheering on my Badgers. I love coming back to the alma mater. Tailgating for game day is spectacular.

Concessions have definitely improved since my undergraduate days! Whether you're here for Badger game day or another event at Camp Randall, it's worth checking out. read more

The best place in the USA to watch a college football game!

Get ready to 'Jump Around'....one of the nicest Big Ten stadiums. Holds about 70,000 fans and on game day the surrounding area changes into a huge tailgate party.
