CHICAGO — University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said Tuesday at Big Ten media days that he has visited with the Green Bay Packers and that the organization would have interest in hosting another Badgers football game at Lambeau Field.

UW will open its season at the stadium Sept. 3 against LSU, the first major college football game to be played at the historic venue.

There are currently no plans for another game, but it appears both UW and the Packers see the benefit and replicating next month’s event.

“We’ve visited. (The Packers) would love it,” Alvarez said. “(Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy) has talked to me about, he gets heat all the time from his chamber of commerce in Green Bay that they’d love more activities in the stadium. They tried concerts, and he said the field is built for football. They’d like to get more games up there. We’ve talked, and I know they’d be interested in it, so we’ll see what happens."

The Packers have shown prior interest in hosting the Big Ten Championship game and recently made a bid to host the NFL Draft in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

A couple things must happen for another UW game to take place at Lambeau Field, although neither should serve as a major obstacle.
