Camp Randall costs rise by $2M; Gifts, not taxpayers, will pick up the tab

The University of Wisconsin athletic department will seek the authority to spend more than $2.1 million in additional funds to finish the Camp Randall Stadium renovation.

That will replenish a contingency fund that has been depleted after unforeseen expenses, said Alan Fish, assistant vice chancellor for facilities, planning and development.

The additional money will come from gifts to the athletic department, not taxpayer dollars or ticket receipts, Fish said.

The additional expenses will boost the total cost of the renovation to just over $109 million, Fish said.
