  • Wisconsin Athletics Master Plan
    FIELD HOUSE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON | ATHLETICS MASTER PLAN77 77 FIELD HOUSE GENERAL OVERVIEW & SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The UW Field House is a 10,600-seat mul -purpose arena in Madison, Wisconsin, directly south of and abu ng Camp Randall Memorial Stadium. In addi on to sports events, the Field House has been the site of large community gatherings such as convoca ons and concerts. Designed by Wisconsin State Architect Arthur Peabody in consulta on, with Paul Cret of Philadelphia, the arena opened in 1930. It was home to the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team before it moved to Kohl Center; currently the building is used by the volleyball and wrestling teams. Prior to occupying the Field House, the Badger men’s basketball team played their games in the Armory Red Gym. The Wisconsin volleyball team got its fi rst-ever sellout on October 21, 2007, to watch the Badgers play No. 1 Penn State. The “W” crest at the top of the Field House, whose actual designer is unknown, is frequently employed as the emblem of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The Field House was added to the Na onal Register of Historic Places in 1998 [2]. GOALS & OBJECTIVES As a central icon of Athle cs and the greater University, preserving this asset is of high importance. Coupled with the restora on of this building, it is necessary to make it highly func onal for Athle cs MASTER PLAN DESIGN CONCEPT / RECOMMENDATIONS Beyond the scope of work recommended for the south sea ng area of Camp Randall (see sec on 3.1) and the associated Club Lounge, full restora on of the exterior facade and windows are a priority.

Home of one of sports most beloved and iconic sports franchises in the Green Bay Packers, The Badger State accounts for almost 70 percent of all dairy products produced and consumed by Americans. When people think of Wisconsin, cows on dairy farms, Miller Light beer, bratwursts being grilled at Lambeau at Packer games and University of Wisconsin students dancing to "Jump Around" at Badger football games at Camp Randall Stadium quickly spring to mind. 1 / 12 Notable athletes that have played for their beloved sports teams include NBA Hall of Famers Lee Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Oscar Robinson of the Milwaukee Bucks, Robin Yount of the Milwaukee Brewers, Super Bowl champion quarterbacks and NFL MVP's Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and former Wisconsin Badger standouts such as NFL Defensive Player Of The Year and All-Pro, J.J.

Notable models and entertainers that call The 'Sconi include Heather Graham, Bob Uecker, Frank Caliendo, Chris Farley, Gene Wilder, Jessica Szohr, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe. Perhaps male fashion model, Josh Rusniak will the next to add his name to the list. 2 / 12 Currently a student at Wisconsin and studying business, the 19-year-old 6'1, 185-pound Rusniak hopes to attain his NASM (National Academy Of Sports Medicine) personal trainer certification before his upcoming 20th birthday. Recently signed with FS Agency out of Toronto, Canada and DAS Miami, Josh's future in the world of 3 / 12 modeling appears to be both promising and a very bright one.
