Fan Expectations
- Fan courtesy is an important element of enjoyment at all Wisconsin Athletics’ events. Our attitudes and actions not only reflect upon our individual character but also the character of our University as a whole. As Badgers, we must strive to foster a friendly and welcoming environment for all to portray our university with the pride and respect it deserves.
- It is also important to remember these essentials:
- Cheer loud and proud
- Don’t be afraid to sing along

Fifth Quarter
The UW Marching Band has become nationally famous for its postgame celebration called the Fifth Quarter. Win or lose, fans sing, dance and cheer with the band as they play traditional favorites, like ‘On, Wisconsin!’ and the Bud song. Originally, the postgame concert was designed to give the fans something to listen to on their way out of the stadium, but it developed into a postgame party as the band built in audience participation activities.

- In the upper deck at Section FF
- In the fifth level concourse behind section T

The metal detectors will not require fans to remove anything from their pockets or empty their clear bags and fans should continue moving forward beyond the security screening area unless asked to stop by security personnel. Though there will be minimal disruption to the gate entry process due to the addition of these high throughput metal detectors, fans are asked to consider arriving at the gates early.
Service Animals
All ADA recognized service animals are welcome. Please notify your ticket seller at the time of purchase if an accessible seat is required to accommodate your service animal. Service animal handlers are reminded that they must have full control of their service animal, whether using a harness, leash, tether, or an alternative effective means of control. Pets are not permitted at any University of Wisconsin athletic facility or event.
