Late on Friday night, Wisconsin athletics and UW Chancellor Rebecca Blank announced that starting with the 2022 season the field at Camp Randall Stadium will be named after former football coach, athletic director and current legend Barry Alvarez. “Barry Alvarez has had an immeasurable impact on the UW-Madison campus and beyond in the state and in college sports,” Chancellor Blank said during the ceremony.
“I’ve said this all along, I got into this because so many coaches touched my life. I love my players. To have the opportunity to see so many players come back, to me, that’s what I got into this for.
