In the midst of revising plans to build new headquarters for 800-plus student-athletes, University of Wisconsin Athletic Department officials thought about using one of the last bits of green space in their campus footprint. A grassy area near Camp Randall Stadium was considered for a place to put a football practice facility with a complex of locker rooms, sports medicine and weight training beneath it. That idea for the Athletic Performance Center was ultimately rejected because of potential cost overruns and the disruption to the adjacent Breese Terrace neighborhood.
