The current state of the Wisconsin football program has created Camp Randall attendance problems. The stadium is seeing record lows through the first few games of the season, and this Saturday looked to be a huge improvement. The Badgers announced it was a sellout about a month ago. The rivalry with Iowa carries some juice and gets fans coming.
However, a new problem has emerged that may change this. The MLB has scheduled the Milwaukee Brewers vs. the Chicago Cubs game 5 for basically the same time. Wisconsin vs. Iowa starts at 6 pm CT, and the Brewers will be fighting for their playoff life starting at 7 pm, only an hour away.
This could create a problem where fans who root for both teams find themselves deciding how they want to proceed. Especially for those fans who want to attend both games. But even for the fans who just want to watch both games. Will the Badgers start to see a drop off?
Wisconsin needs a win and some hope to turn around attendance at Camp Randall
