Lambeau Field has officially lost its first game of 2020.
It’s not a Green Bay Packers game, but the Big Ten announced yesterday that teams will only face other conference teams during its football season this fall.
That means the Notre Dame-Wisconsin game set for early September at Lambeau Field is canceled. The two teams will face off at Soldier Field in 2021 and Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said the two schools are working to reschedule this year’s game at Lambeau.
It’s a bummer that the game had to get canceled but the Big Ten felt it safer to keep teams relatively close to home for this season (Maryland and Rutgers apparently notwithstanding) thanks to the ongoing pandemic.
