University police ejected and arrested significantly fewer students at the Badger football game Saturday than at previous home games.
University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department officers ejected 18 students from Camp Randall and arrested 10 at the Wisconsin vs. Minnesota game, according to a police statement.
At the Sept. 22 against University of Texas at El Paso, which also had an 11 a.m. kick-off time, university police ejected 91 and arrested 14 students at the game.
UW-Madison sophomore Lauren Peterson, who has attended every game this year, said she observed tighter security and seating policies at Saturday’s game than at previous games this year and games last season.
“[Security and police officers] are much more adamant on getting you to your seats and sitting in the exact spot you’re supposed to,” Peterson said. “Before, I felt like we were all treated like adults...and now they are controlling it a little more.”
