The stadium is located on the Camp Randall grounds which was a Union Army training camp during the Civil War.

Located in the city of Madison, Wisconsin, Camp Randall Stadium is the 41st largest stadium in the world. It was opened as a full functioning stadium in 1917. It is the home ground of the Wisconsin Badgers (NCAA) football team. The architect involved in the construction of the stadium was Arthur Peabody and renovated under the observation by Bernes-Schobler Associates. It has been renovated in 2004 and underwent expansion several times in between 1921-2004.
