Underage drinking remained an issue at Saturday’s Badger home football game against Brigham Young University, although the game was notable for the decrease in the number of fans requiring medical attention.
According to a release by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department, 20 underage drinking citations were issued at the game, which is slightly higher than the average of 19.4 for home games this season. The highest preliminary breath sample recorded at the game was .29, continuing a general decline from the start of the season.
The UWPD report notes that 20 students were ejected from Camp Randall Stadium. This continues a general decline from the high of 39 student ejections recorded at the Purdue game Sept. 21.
Approximately half as many attendees needed medical attention at Saturday’s game, with 18 requiring the administration of first aid, compared to 35 during the Northwestern game Oct. 12.
The Badgers will go on to host Indiana University at Camp Randall Nov. 16.
