The University of Wisconsin announced plans to renovate the south end zone at Camp Randall Stadium. The renovation is expected to upgrade the fan experience with new premium seating options, access to indoor hospitality and outdoor terraces, climate-controlled amenities and expanded premium food and beverage service. The plan is in its early stages, and the school has not yet selected an architect for the project. It’s expected that the facility will slightly reduce the stadium’s seating capacity, which currently sits at 80,321. — UWBadgers.com
