Located on the west side of the
University of Wisconsin campus, Camp Randall Stadium is the oldest
stadium in the Big Ten Conference. Football at the university dates
back to 1889, and at the location of Camp Randall Stadium since 1913
when the original wooden stadium was built. For two seasons,
football was played at the wooden structure before it collapsed. A
new modern safer steel and concrete structure was needed and a
10,000 stadium was built. The Badgers played their first game at the
new stadium on November 3, 1917 against Minnesota. Unlike many other
football stadiums in college football, Camp Randall Stadium is not
named after the team or someone associated with the university. Camp
Randall was an army base during the American Civil War and the
Badgers stadium was built on its location.

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 it was lowered bringing
fans 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 slightly altered 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, adding nearly 1,000 club seats, 72 luxury
suites, rebuilding the south end zone and enclosing the
southeast and west corners with new seats. The Astroturf playing
field was removed and replaced by Fieldturf. Today after these
expansions Camp Randall Stadium has a seating capacity of
approximately 80,321 Badger fans.
