Secret places: On the sidelines at Camp Randall

The noise from 80,000 throats cascades down the canyon, collects in the valley, registers on the Richter scale. Every Wisconsin Badger game at Camp Randall Stadium begins this way, with a triumphant crescendo of cheers that go hushed once the kicker connects and the ball flies downfield and the game is under way. From then on, a sideline pageant begins of movement and stress and split-second decisions, all focused on the ball.
