Camp Randall Stadium
Madison, WI
After more than eight decades of existence, Camp Randall Stadium remains an excellent place to catch a college football game. Home of the Wisconsin Badgers, Camp Randall Stadium was originally built in 1913. However in 1915 the wooden bleachers collapsed and the need for a safer structure was needed. A new 10,000 seat stadium built of steel and concrete was constructed. The Badgers played their first game at the new stadium on November 3, 1917 against Minnesota.
Like many other stadiums, Camp Randall has been expanded many times and could seat 51,000 fans by 1951. In 1958 the track around the playing field was removed and the playing field was lowered allowing fans to get closer to the action. A three level press box and second deck on the westside was completed by the 1966 season increasing the capacity to 77,745. Since 1966, the stadium capacity has been altered slightly and now seats 76,129 fans. In the early 1990s, Astroturf was installed replacing the grass field and a new scoreboard was added in 1992. Prior to the start of the 2005 season, Camp Randall Stadium was expanded that included nearly 1,000 club seats, 72 luxury suites, rebuilding the south end zone and enclosing the south east and west corners with new seats. The Astroturf playing field has also been removed and replaced by Fieldturf. Today after these expansions Camp Randall Stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 80,321 Badger fans.
