That’s a new part of the entry process this season. Wisconsin has had similar checks at the Kohl Center since 2016 and added them at Camp Randall Stadium in 2023. Volleyball fans now also are subject to the security measures and an earlier time for gates opening — 90 minutes before the match instead of an hour.

Mark Stewart has been a staple at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for decades, and sliding back into the Wisconsin Badgers beat has been like a homecoming. Except he never left.

The event saw future Badgers take the turf at Camp Randall for an afternoon of fun in the form of combine-like drills– a bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 40-yard dash, a quarterback toss, and field goal kick. They could also take pictures with Bucky and run around the field.

Letter to the editor: While all Americans can be proud of the Team USA athletes in a variety of sports, I felt the results for women’s rugby bronze medalist Alev Kelter (who played women’s soccer and hockey at UW-Madison), women’s volleyball silver medalists Dana Rettke and Lauren Carlini (both standouts for UW volleyball) and especially women’s soccer gold medalist Rose Lavelle (perhaps the greatest UW women’s soccer player of all time) were particularly notable.

The Shell, formerly the Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center, has been a part of my life since my freshman year at the UW in 1958. The building was only 2 years old when every Friday we ROTC cadets went through our “drill and ceremonies,” learning how to march in formation, do about-faces, stand at ease and all the other basics of a well-tuned Army platoon, while getting prepared to become second lieutenants four years later.
