MADISON, Wis. — Following a season that saw University of Wisconsin sporting events played in empty venues, Wisconsin Athletics is excited to announce that there will be no capacity limits at Badger home events this season. This decision was made by UW Athletics officials following consultation with campus officials.
"We are thrilled to be able to welcome fans back to our venues beginning this fall," UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said. "The thought of 80,000 fans in Camp Randall Stadium on a Saturday or a packed Field House cheering on the volleyball team on a Friday night gives me chills."
"We've missed the energy of our fans so much," UW Deputy AD Chris McIntosh said. "To be able to sit here in late June and look forward to full capacity in the fall is tremendously exciting. I'm ecstatic for our fans, our student-athletes and our staff."
Amid declining case counts across Wisconsin, a number of state teams have taken similar steps, including the Green Bay Packers, the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks. UW Athletics will use CDC guidelines and guidance from campus health officials at the time of the event to inform policies but at this time UW Athletics is not planning to require masks at events within its facilities.
"America's Greatest College Town" will officially be back on display on Saturday, Sept. 4 when the Badger football team hosts Penn State at 11 a.m. CT. The blockbuster home football schedule also includes games against Eastern Michigan, Michigan, Army, Iowa, Northwestern and Nebraska (view complete schedule here).
