The University of Wisconsin Athletics’ plan to construct a new football practice facility took an important step late last month.
Earlier this year, Gov. Tony Evers proposed spending $285 million toward building UW’s new practice facility. To help accumulate the needed fund, the Building Champions campaign — which launched publicly in October — was organized. UW Athletics purchased the Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center (The Shell) from UW Recreation and Wellbeing for $5 million back in April with plans of demolishing it.
