Despite its 2024 output on the field, Wisconsin’s football program sure knows how to attract fans to Camp Randall Stadium for every home game.
The program announced on Wednesday that it has sold out Camp Randall in anticipation of its game vs. No. 1 Oregon on Nov. 16. The sellout is its fifth this season, the most at Camp Randall Stadium since 2008, per Wisconsin Athletics.
Saturday’s game will mark the first time Wisconsin welcomes a No. 1 foe into its home stadium since Oct. 16, 2010. That day, the Badgers upset No. 1 Ohio State 31-18 in a stunner.
Wisconsin also encourages all of its fans, not just the student section, to wear red and arrive early for the contest.
Not atypical for such a monumental game, Wisconsin will honor one of its greatest alumnus during Saturday’s bout. The Badgers will honor legendary running back Melvin Gordon on the 10-year anniversary of his 408-yard explosion against Nebraska on Nov. 15, 2014.
That season, Gordon finished with 2,587 rushing yards, a Big Ten record and the second-most in FBS history. He was named the Doak Walker Award winner and the runner-up for the ’14 Heisman Trophy behind Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Even though the Badgers may be outmatched against the Ducks on Saturday, Camp Randall should be alive with excitement.
