With the fall semester just a few weeks away, UW-Madison’s famous Camp Randall receives a new look at its front gate. The “Nails Tails” statue, which has dominated the stadium’s facade since 2005, was taken down this week. The statue received criticism for its “unique” look, and will be replaced by a bronze badger. The new installation aptly named “The Badger” was sculpted by Wisconsin artist Harry Whitehorse and was unveiled outside Camp Randall this week. The Badgers’ season home opener at Camp Randall is against South Florida, a week from tonight.
