After a number of Big Ten schools announced their intention to go back to 100% capacity this fall, Wisconsin has officially joined that list.
Per release this morning, the Badgers will be going back to full capacity for all home athletic events starting this fall.
“We are thrilled to be able to welcome fans back to our venues beginning this fall,” UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said. “The thought of 80,000 fans in Camp Randall Stadium on a Saturday or a packed Field House cheering on the volleyball team on a Friday night gives me chills.”
With COVID-19 staying on the decline in Madison, UW Athletics is not planning on requiring masks at home athletic events.
“We’ve missed the energy of our fans so much,” UW Deputy AD Chris McIntosh said. “To be able to sit here in late June and look forward to full capacity in the fall is tremendously exciting. I’m ecstatic for our fans, our student-athletes and our staff.”
