University of Wisconsin-Madison students and fans at the Badger home game against Northwestern Saturday received relatively low levels of drinking citations and required less medical attention, according to a UW-Madison Police Department press release.
The UWPD issued 16 underage drinking tickets and ejected 23 UW-Madison students during Saturday’s game at Camp Randall stadium, according to the release. The highest preliminary breath sample recorded at the game was .294, which is slightly lower than the .315 average at the past three games.
The release showed the situation in the stands was also safer than the previous few games; six game attendees required paramedic attention, showing a continuing decline since the Sep. 7 game against Tennessee Tech, where 31 fans received medical attention.
Safety at the game this weekend starkly contrasted the last home game against Purdue on Sep. 21, where 24 UW-Madison students received underage drinking tickets and 39 were ejected by UWPD.
