The Camp Randall 100 is an exclusive list celebrating 100 people who have shaped Camp Randall Stadium's history across the realms of sports, music, culture and beyond. A new honoree will be revealed each day over the final 100 days leading up to kickoff of the Wisconsin football team's season opener with Utah State on Friday, Sept. 1. The Camp Randall 100 reveal is part of a year-long celebration of the history of the iconic stadium, which opened in 1917.
 

MADISON, Wis. — No strangers to setting standards – their iconic album The Dark Side of the Moon spent a record 736 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart – Pink Floyd came to Camp Randall Stadium in 1988 and laid the groundwork for the future of major rock concerts inside the historic venue.

Among the six shows that followed their Madison debut – including Genesis, the Rolling Stones and U2 – the Floyd returned for a second performance in 1994 and drew a sellout crowd to see their psychedelic experience make its way back to Camp Randall.
