Facility Friday: Camp Randall Stadium, Colorado College Arena and More

The University of Wisconsin released new renderings for upcoming renovations coming to Camp Randall Stadium. The new images reveal premium seating and club spaces near the football stadium’s south end zone. The project will feature field-level loge boxes and terrace space, rows of seating with drink rails, a standing area with an entry to a concourse and more. The renovation, expected to begin construction after the conclusion of the 2020 football season, will reduce the facility’s seating capacity from 80,321. — Madison.com
