Camp Randall Stadium is one of our nation’s most iconic environments in all of college football and nothing compares to being there on game day! Be a part of “the best experience in college sports” and join 70,000 of your Badger family as we take on a home schedule that features Ohio State, Washington, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Middle Tennessee State and Miami (OH).

Fieldhouse Football Tailgates are free admission to the public and will open 2.5 hours prior to kickoff. The event will end 30 minutes prior to kickoff to allow fans time to enter the stadium. Concessions will be available for purchase inside the Fieldhouse. Live music will be played at each tailgate in addition to an appearance by the University of Wisconsin Marching Band! 

Just steps from Camp Randall Stadium at Union South, Badger Bash offers food, drinks and entertainment—indoors and out. Join us 2½ hours before kickoff, every football home game, for game day's best tailgate.
