Dear Badgers,
Today I write to you with mixed emotions. Earlier today, the Big Ten announced the revised, conference-only schedule for the 2020 football season. If we are able to proceed with it, our season will start in about one month, on Sept. 4 at Camp Randall Stadium against Indiana.
While this seems like a step in the right direction to the return of collegiate athletics, I can’t help but feel conflicted knowing that even in the best-case scenario, our return to football will be nothing like the experience we all love.
That season opener would normally be a celebration, from the tailgating to the Student Section Race to the Fifth Quarter. Like you I have been paying close attention to the case numbers in our community and we are preparing for the reality that it will not be appropriate for thousands of fans to gather in Camp Randall on Saturdays this fall.
We are greatly appreciative of the support of our student body. The passion you bring to Camp Randall energizes the entire stadium. Having experienced that for decades, it disappoints me that we will not be able to offer student season tickets this year.
As more updates on the fall season become available, we will continue to communicate with you.
I hope that you and your families are safe and healthy and wish you all the best with the new school year right around the corner.
On, Wisconsin!

As such, we wanted to communicate with you to discuss options and ask for your support.
We are greatly appreciative that 85 percent of our season ticket holders made the choice to order season tickets again this year and it disappoints me that we will not be able to provide those season tickets.
