Stadium: Camp Randall Stadium
Distinguished by its impressive double-deck structure, Camp Randall Stadium has been the Badgers' facility since its opening game on Nov. 3, 1917. It has been host to UW football games, outdoor concerts, Drum Corps International, Green Bay Packer exhibition games, and other large public events. Besides the field, the historic Camp Randall Stadium complex houses the athletic department offices in Kellner Hall, the Athletic Operations Building, a team training table, lounges, the Fetzer Center study area for student-athletes, as well as film, training and weight rooms and a display of football memorabilia in the new football offices located in the eastside superstructure. The stadium is the centerpiece of Wisconsin's athletic complex. Located on the same block on the west side of campus are the Dave McClain Athletic Facility, the state-of-the-art indoor practice building, the Camp Randall Memorial Recreation Center (Shell), and the Wisconsin Field House.

Season Preview:
Wisconsin retains 16 starters and its punter and kicker from the crew that earned a school-record 12 victories last fall. But don't expect the Badgers to be complacent this time around. They believe they deserved a BCS berth but were the victim of circumstances -- Ohio State and Michigan, you'll recall, snatched up the maximum two spots any single conference can claim in the five BCS bowl games. This year, the Badgers are out to ensure no one can keep them out of the biggest bowls. Wisconsin retains all of its skill-position players except QB John Stocco. Presuming either senior Tyler Donovan or junior Allan Evridge can approximate Stocco's services, sophomore TB P.J. Hill (1,569 yards, 15 TDs) and the Badgers' excellent pass-catching crew should make it easier for the new guy at the controls. Plus, it might help if the new left tackle -- Jake Bscherer or Gabe Carimi -- can play at least 75 percent as well as departed Outland Trophy winner Joe Thomas. The Badgers lost three of their finer defenders in MLB Mark Zalewski and safeties Joe Stellmacher and Roderick Rogers. While the first two guys, in particular, defined the phrase "steady player," the Badgers bring back several starters who relished in their ability to make big plays. DE Matt Shaughnessy and OLB DeAndre Levy are terrific pass rushers, CB Jack Ikegwuonu rarely has balls thrown to his side of the field and OLB Jonathan Casillas does a little bit of everything. PK Tyler Mehlhaff, a Lou Groza semifinalist last year, and P Ken DeBauche, a four-year starter, give the Badgers the best kicking combo in the Big Ten. Wisconsin isn't nearly as solid in the return game. Amazingly, the Badgers never returned a kickoff more than 26 yards all year. They need to find better and more sure-handed candidates in the return game.
