UW’s new digs impress retired scribe

The area around Camp Randall Stadium is a hectic place these days, with construction still dominating the scene. I’m not around there much these days, although it was once like my second home when I covered University of Wisconsin football and basketball for the Wisconsin State Journal.

So a recent visit with sports information director Justin Doherty in the new Kellner Hall at the east end of the stadium staggered my imagination. Seeing the lavish surroundings I couldn’t help but think of former SID Jim Mott’s old office, where water leaked from the stadium seats above during a heavy rain.
