Camp Randall 100: Bucky Badger

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. — If the University of Wisconsin's original live badger mascot was too vicious, the character that replaced it, Buckingham U. Badger, would best be described as too … lovable?

For nearly 70 years, Bucky has roamed the sidelines — and stands — at Camp Randall Stadium as a sweater-clad ambassador for all things Badgers.
