A festival of Badger fans and players

With the college football season coming up soon, the Wisconsin Badgers held a Football Family Fun Day at Camp Randall Stadium on Aug. 1. The free, annual outreach event provides thousands of Badger fans of all ages with an opportunity to meet Wisconsin football team players up close, receive free team posters and have sports memorabilia autographed.
