Police offer tips for Badger football fans

UW-Madison police are offering Badger football fans attending Wisconsin’s home game against Oregon State on Saturday, Sept. 10 a number of tips to make their game-day experience more enjoyable.

Because this is the season’s first 11 a.m. kickoff, police are reminding fans of some important game-day information:

• Gates open 90 minutes prior to kickoff;
• Plan to arrive at the game early to ensure enough time for parking and entry into the stadium;
• Items permitted inside the stadium are: bags no larger than 8.5 inches by 11 inches, binoculars, cameras, blankets, jackets, items related to a medical condition, chair backs (not more than 16 inches wide), and diaper bags (with child);
• Items not permitted inside the stadium are: bags larger than 8.5 inches by 11 inches, food, beverages, containers, strollers, laser pointers, umbrellas, banners, flags, signs, noisemakers, weapons, inflatables, or any items deemed dangerous or inappropriate;
• Open intoxicants are not allowed on city of Madison property — such as streets and sidewalks — and are also not allowed inside Camp Randall Stadium.
