Not Just Football at Wisconsin's Camp Randall-- Part 2

The state of Wisconsin bought Camp Randall in 1893 and when the remaining Civil War veterans learned it was to have a building, there was a huge outcry against it.

The University of Wisconsin originally used it for track and field before football and baseball moved there in 1895.

The new stadium opened October 6, 1917, with 7,500 seats which still make up the lower portion of today's grandstand. Throughout the years, it has continued to grow in size.
