Wisconsin Athletics announced on Wednesday that there will be no capacity limits at Badger home events this season. This decision was made by UW Athletics officials following consultation with campus officials.
“We are thrilled to be able to welcome fans back to our venues beginning this fall,” UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said in a statement. “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.”
UW Athletics will use CDC guidelines and guidance from campus health officials at the time of the event to inform policies, according to a press release from the university, but at this time UW Athletics is not planning to require masks at events within its facilities.
“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.”
