The UW-Madison Police Department saw a slight increase in the number of ejections and citations issued during Saturday’s football game against Bowling Green, according to a UWPD report.
Though the number of citations rose to 36 from last gameday’s 32, fewer UW students were cited overall, with a total of 20 student citations reported.
Ejections for Saturday’s game rose to 61 from the previous home game’s 47; however, the number of UW students ejected remained constant at 34.
Two individuals were transported to detox, with the highest preliminary breath sample reported at .321 blood alcohol content, a reading high enough to cause death in certain situations.
UWPD reported underage drinking as the most common cause for ejections and citations with 33 incidents. Other reasons for ejection were throwing objects, possession of alcohol and seating issues in the student section.
Saturday’s gameday also resulted in 35 first aid calls and four ambulance transportations.
