University of Wisconsin athletics director Barry Alvarez said that ESPN's College GameDay will take place at Lambeau Field when the Badgers play Louisiana State University in the 2016 season opener on Sept. 3.

Alvarez was speaking at the Wisconsin Sports Award banquet on Tuesday night.

ESPN has not announced the location of their weekly live show that typically takes place at the college campus or site of one of the weekend's best college football games.

College GameDay came to the Badgers' season opener against Alabama last season at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The show last came to Madison in 2011 for UW's 48-17 win over then-No. 8 Nebraska in the Cornhuskers' first visit to Camp Randall.

The LSU-UW matchup at Lambeau Field will be one of the marquee matchups on the first weekend of the college football season, but it isn't without competition for a College GameDay appearance. Among the other notable games that weekend are Alabama-USC at AT&T Stadium, Clemson at Auburn, Georgia-North Carolina at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, UCLA at Texas A&M, Notre Dame at Texas, and Ole Miss at Florida State.

Of note, College GameDay has not been to Austin since 2009 and the show has not been to a game involving North Carolina since 2010.
