Here's an Early Look at the New Stadium Where Wisconsin Will Face Northwestern
The Badgers play at Northwestern on October 19th this season. The biggest difference this year though is that the game will be played at a temporary venue while Northwestern builds a brand new facility.
The new site is a turf field right on Lake Michigan, so winds may end up being a factor come October. Here's a look at the site before the renovation begins.

The team plans to add a press box and a majority of the seating behind the endzones. The venue will seat approximately 15,000 fans, about one-third of Northwestern's former home Ryan Field.
The Badgers will be the last team to play at the site in 2024 as the remaining teams coming to play at Northwestern will face off at Wrigley Field. Hopefully the new site will work in favor of the Badgers as they fell to the Wildcats 24-10 in 2023 at home.
