Wisconsin

Saturday in Madison is Badger Bash, the march under the Arch, Camp Randall, and Jump Around plus the Fifth Quarter after the game. Lot 34 is alcohol-free, and the Bucky Shuttle lots are the remote option, so know which you have before you unpack.

Must see / do

Around campus

• The Arch March brings the players onto the grounds through the Arch on Randall Avenue. The fan page has a sample timeline, so verify it that week.
• Jump Around falls between the third and the fourth, and the Fifth Quarter is the postgame band party whether they win or lose. State Street and downtown Madison are the corridor before or after kick.

Before the game

• Badger Bash at Union South is a free public pregame about 2.5 hours before kick, with the band, Bucky, and the Spirit Squad.
• Lots 60, 64, and 76 are the day-of remote lots on the Bucky Shuttle, and the shuttle is paid. Some fan-page copy still says the 2024 season, so verify the clocks each year.

On the lot

• Grills are ok on asphalt, and an open wood flame is not. Lot 34 is alcohol-free. Tent rules and the 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m. open are on Fan Information and the tailgating FAQ.
• The 2026 season parking map PDF is live, and the Bucky Shuttle and single-game map are on the same page. Grills, tents, and alcohol are in the overview.
