Camp Randall Stadium

My last game was 25yrs ago. So much has changed with this stadium for the good. The energy is very high at these games. Badgers played against TN and we won. They do sell alcohol now and you can bring it to your seat. Seating was normal metal bleachers, you can bring a small folding chair pad. Also bring a clear purse. Beers were $9

It's a unique experience- they close the streets off and so once you park it's easy to walk to. Inside on the concourses is probably the most narrow walkways I've ever experienced- so if you get worried in crowds just expect that it'll be really crowded at times. Seating is bench for the most part. It's a cool place though!

On Wisconsin! Jump Around! Home of the University of Wisconsin Badgers! Camp Randall Stadium is a great place to watch NCAA football with great views no matter where you sit! Loud, rowdy and full of energy, the Wisconsin faithful bring it every Saturday! Come do the Jump Around and enjoy a football game at Camp Randall Stadium!

First time in Madison, and decided to go last minute as suggested by a local, tix were only 8 bucks, and picked the right game to go to as they got an upset win against Washington and the students stormed the field! What a great environment, even in the wintery mix all of the last half!

My daughter and I went to Camp Randall for the Coldplay concert July 2025, so my review is based on what this venue is like for a music event, NOT the concert itself nor any knowledge as to the venue for its general college sports/academia usage. - The seating is not going to be anything comparable to a music venue size seat (ie - auditorium/event centers). That said, we got completely squeezed out of our seats by a woman who refused to put her bag on the floor and off my daughter's seat, and on the other side a very inebriated man. My daughter and I are more on the petite side, so we don't take up much room but downfall is was also couldn't really push back to keep our space. We ended up standing in the aisle after a bathroom break 1/2 of the show bc we simply could not get back in. Kinda sucked to pay for a ticket but we were still there and security was kind to us and let us stand in the aisle. On this note and looking back, we would've gone with floor seats/standing on the field as being a sold out show there was so much room on the floor you could run around if you wanted. - On that note, there was security but certainly not as "tight" as making other venues that are setup for making sure people are actually in their seats. Perhaps our issue was having "good" seats and people trying to cram into the lower level? Either way, we were on our own to figure it out. The security guard was VERY kind but the crowd was intense and getting us back in our seats was just not something feasible at that time. - It's an old venue, so don't expect nice and plentiful bathrooms when you're a woman going to a concert where there may be in fact a higher majority woman in attendance. You will wait a very long time and the bathrooms on a hot summer day will be very moist and sticky. - Getting there and back was a bit of a hassle though many hotels do shuttle. Don't expect to find close parking unless you come many hours early. - Audio was pretty good, the sound resounded nicely in the bowl. I'd be curious if higher up audio was still good. I have been to a concert at Lambeau Field too and have been pretty impressed with the way the music carries on these open air field venues when that crowded. - Concessions were very "meh" though perhaps they are different on game day. - Merch had many locations which was much better than some other venues. (Not sure of this is an artist thing or venue thing but thought I'd mention it.) - Overall, I probably wouldn't go back to another concert at Camp Randall with a child under 14 unless it's alcohol free or it's another "once in a lifetime" type event. Even just in general I would reconsider for myself sans kids bc it's truly not the greatest setup for this. Loved the experience, just isn't on my "I'd come here again for sure" list.
