Wisconsin Badgers

 

Wisconsin Basketball to celebrate Fan Appreciation Day on Feb. 18

It’s hard to believe the 2020-21 season is almost over. It has certainly been unlike any we’ve ever experienced and we can’t understate how much we’ve missed you at the Kohl Center. We have felt your support all season but can’t wait for you to be back making the Kohl Center rock again next season.

On Thursday, Feb. 18, leading up to our game against Iowa that evening, we will be honoring and thanking you, the fan for all of your continued support. The day will be filled with exciting fan engagement activities, contests and giveaways as a show of our appreciation.

From the Faithful 5,000 to the Kohl Center's 17,000 strong and every Badger who sung Varsity after a big win … thank you, thank you, thank you.
