A Message from the
Director of Athletics

The new football indoor practice facility will be transformational for not only our football student-athletes, but for all of Wisconsin Athletics. It demonstrates the commitment we have to competing for championships and winning on and off the field. Badger student-athletes will reap the benefits of this state-of-the-art facility for decades to come and I am excited to see construction begin!

On, Wisconsin!
