What to know about Morgan Wallen's Madison concerts at Camp Randall Stadium
Morgan Wallen is days away from creating more Wisconsin history. In 2023, the country music star became the first artist to headline a Wisconsin stadium for two consecutive nights when he kicked off the North American leg of his "One Night at a Time" tour at American Family Field. Now, he's going to be the first musical artist to headline a concert at Madison's Camp Randall Stadium in the 21st century, with the stadium's last concert coming in 1997. Here's what to know about Wallen's Madison concerts: When are the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison? Wallen is playing back-to-back nights, June 28 and 29. This means his first concert is going head-to-head with another major Wisconsin music event, the second Saturday of Summerfest, headlined by Megan Thee Stallion with special guest Flo Milli at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater at 7:30 p.m. Camp Randall's gates open at 4:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 6 p.m. both nights. How to get tickets for the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison A limited number of tickets remain for both nights and can be purchased through the University of Wisconsin-Madison official website. You can also buy resale tickets on third-party outlets like Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats and StubHub. Official UW parking passes for both nights are sold out. How much are tickets for the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison? If buying directly through Wisconsin, the cheapest tickets available are $154.75, plus a $34 fee per ticket. The cheapest third-party tickets, as of June 25, are on StubHub for $202, including fees and before taxes. Vivid Seats' cheapest ticket is $213 and Ticketmaster's is $232, both including fees but not taxes. Who is the opener for the Morgan Wallen concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison? Opening for Wallen are Miranda Lambert and Ella Langley. Lambert, a three-time Grammy winner, is very well-known by country music fans. She's the first woman to win the Country Music Association Awards' Album of the Year twice (2010 and 2014). Her duet with Carrie Underwood, "Somethin' Bad," is her highest-charted song at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her highest solo song is "Mama's Broken Heart," which peaked at 20th. Langley is a more up-and-coming artist. She released her first studio album, "Hangover," in 2024, which debuted at No. 77 on the Billboard 200 and 11th on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Her most popular song is the album's lead, 'You Look Like You Love Me,' which debuted at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at 30th. Who is Morgan Wallen? Wallen is one of the most popular artists in country music. In 2024, he had two of the top 10 albums on the year-end Billboard 200 chart — 'One Thing at a Time' and 'Dangerous: The Double Album' — and the fourth-biggest song on the year-end Billboard Hot 100 chart, 'I Had Some Help' with Post Malone. Both of those achievements helped make him entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards. But his path to stardom didn't come without controversy. In 2021, Wallen was caught on camera saying a racial slur, an incident for which he later apologized. Then, in 2024, he pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless endangerment for throwing a chair off a sixth-floor roof of a bar in downtown Nashville and nearly hitting two police officers, resulting in his arrest. Is Morgan Wallen playing anywhere else in Wisconsin this summer? No, Wallen's only trip to Wisconsin is when he comes to Camp Randall. Are there any other concerts at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison this summer? Yes! Wallen may be the first to actually perform at The Camp since 1997, but he was the second performer to announce he was coming to the Wisconsin Badgers football stadium. Coldplay, which hasn't performed in Wisconsin since 2009, will be in Madison for the first time July 19 as a part of its "Music of the Spheres World Tour." In similar fashion to the rest of the tour, tickets quickly sold out.

Shohei Ohtani sets bonkers Dodgers record in 1st inning vs. Brewers
The post Shohei Ohtani sets bonkers Dodgers record in 1st inning vs. Brewers appeared first on ClutchPoints. Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers entered Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field in Milwaukee on the heels of a bad stretch. Before the series, the reigning World Series champions were swept in a three-game set by the Houston Astros and lost the series opener against the Brewers on Monday. Advertisement But Ohtani immediately gave the Dodgers a big lift early in the second game of the Milwaukee series, as he launched a towering solo home run that went 431 feet deep of Milwaukee starter and rising rookie Jacob Misiorowski. The reigning National League Most Valuable Player was behind the count 0-2 before Misiorowski offered him an 88 mph curveball that Ohtani sent into orbit to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. More than that, it made Ohtani the owner of a new Dodgers record for most home runs before the MLB All-Star break. 'Shohei Ohtani's 31st home run – the most ever by a @Dodgers player prior to the All-Star break!' MLB shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The home run was also just the second of the month for Shohei Ohtani, who continues to punish the Brewers. He was a bright spot for the Dodgers in Monday's LA loss, as he went 2-for-4 while scoring his team's only run in a 9-1 defeat. Advertisement Additionally, Ohtani moves past former Dodgers star Cody Bellinger for the third-most home runs in the first 93 games of a season with the team, per Sarah Langs of Bellinger had 30 such homers in 2019. Only Duke Snider (1955) and Gary Sheffield (2000) have more at the time of this writing, with 33 and 32, respectively. Of course, Ohtani's monster blast generated lots of reactions from baseball fans on the internet. 'Just casually making more history,' a fan said. 'THATS WHY HES AN ALL STAR,' another commenter mentioned. 'he's back ladies and gents,' a different social media user shared. From another commenter: 'Damn what an ALL STAR ⚡️' Advertisement 'Bro loves breaking records,' chimed in another. Shohei Ohtani still has plenty of opportunities to add to his record, with another game coming up against the Brewers on Wednesday and a three-game series versus the San Francisco Giants on the road beginning this Friday before the break.

Milwaukee's Fourth of July drone show went without a bang. What did you think?
Under mostly clear skies, crowds gathered at McKinley Beach to watch Milwaukee's first-ever drone show July 3. Images long associated with the birth of the United States ― the date 1776, the Declaration of Independence, George Washington's head and, of course, the American flag ― transformed before viewers' eyes into iconic Milwaukee landmarks like the Hoan Bridge and American Family Field. Even the abandoned boat that took on peculiar local lore, Deep Thought, made a cameo in the sky. Now that you've experienced Milwaukee's lakefront drone show, what did you think? We want to hear from you. If the survey isn't working for you, click here or email neilbert@ In June, Milwaukee County opted to swap its long tradition of fireworks at McKinley Beach for a drone show, a decision made to reduce noise and air pollution, according to a press release from Milwaukee County Parks Executive Director Guy Smith. County leaders said the 900 drones featured on the eve of Fourth of July was also $200,000 cheaper than the customary pyrotechnic shows enjoyed in prior years. Last year, Milwaukee County canceled its annual July 3 event due to a lack of sponsorship funding. The county's parks department previously shared that the fireworks display usually costs about $350,000 for pyrotechnics and $20,000 for additional staffing and service costs. The event typically draws more than 100,000 people. A Fourth of July wouldn't be complete without steaming hot dogs, popsicles and sandals, which filled the night sky. But like your favorite streaming show, ads for Northwestern Mutual, Johnson Controls and Bank of American also peppered the 45-minute spectacle. For some observers, the corporate sponsorships on display throughout the evening struck a specific chord. Others, still, focused on the inventiveness and seamlessness of the drone lights. And animals could rest easy without the erratic boom of fireworks, which can trigger a startle response in domestic and farm animals ― and in humans, too. When the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel put out a non-scientific survey on the question of drones vs. fireworks for Milwaukee's July 3 lakefront Independence Day celebration last month, readers said they wouldn't miss the noise or debris generated from fireworks and were open-minded about giving the drone show a try. Many others said the Fourth wouldn't be the same without fireworks.

The executive director of American Family Field's public owner is leaving that position
The executive director of American Family Field's public owner is leaving that position − as a Milwaukee engineering firm is hired to help replace him. Pat Goss, Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District executive director, will remain under contract through the end of September. The district board in March disclosed plans to hire Sigma Group as facility manager to help oversee the ballpark's renovation projects. Goss, hired in 2021, is helping with the transition to Sigma, according to a June 30 announcement. 'When I agreed to accept this position several years ago, I did it with the understanding that this would not be a long-term role," Goss said, in a statement. "The focus at the time was to ensure continued appropriate investment of the taxpayers' dollars in this wonderful facility and ensuring a long-term lease to keep Major League Baseball in Wisconsin," Goss said. "That mission was accomplished." Sigma's role will focus on the stadium's capital investments, including plans to winterize it. Goss is not a professional engineer − unlike his predecessor, Mike Duckett, who served in that role for 25 years. The stadium financing plan, approved in 2023, uses $365.8 million from the state and $67.5 million each from the City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County for long-term renovation costs. Sigma will work with the stadium board, the Milwaukee Brewers and vendors "to make the investments necessary to make sure American Family Field remains a first-class ballpark,' said President Ken Kaszubowski. The district is the ballpark's primary owner and responsible for most major maintenance and improvement projects. The district board in December ratified a new lease with the Brewers through 2050.
