A Wisco Wednesday Special on a Thursday. Just what this week needed. 

Camp Randall to Sell Beer, Wine, and Seltzer

The drought is over on Friday August 30th, 2024. Wisconsin will become the 16th Big Ten team to sell beer to general seating at football games. The fact that most of the conference had this figured out before the Badgers is a little disappointing. At least they got it done before Northwestern and Nebraska.

The press release said they plan to use the same policies that the Kohl Center adopted last year. So that means getting carded at the register if the cashier thinks you look “under 40,” 2 beverages max per customer per sale, and $9.50 for a 16 oz domestic. 

Proceeds from alcohol sales at Camp Randall will contribute to programs across campus aimed at assisting individuals with alcoholism or preventing alcoholism. There will also be an increased police presence at games compared to previous years. Overall not too much had to change for beer to finally be allowed. 

The biggest positive I see coming out of this is the stadium environment. Most of the fans not in the student section have had tickets for a while and can often be described as “old people.” I have nothing against old people, but they don’t yell, cheer, stand, or add to the gameday environment very often. Unless it’s 4th down in the fourth quarter, it’s been too calm in Camp Randall the last couple of years. I think a few beers might be all these fans need to pick up the energy levels. It certainly can’t hurt.
