Badgers fans split over whether they like Wisconsin playing Notre Dame at Lambeau Field in 2026

The Wisconsin Badgers had to postpone their 2020 matchup against Notre Dame because of the COVID-19 pandemic, bumping it all the way to 2026.

Now, they're rescheduling it again, pushing it back one additional day to be played on a Sunday at Lambeau Field.

The game was originally slated to be a home game for Notre Dame, and Badgers fans on social media are split about whether they like the move or not.

On the one hand, it's a cool opportunity for Wisconsin players to play in an NFL stadium, and it adds another level of excitement to the nationally televised matchup.

On the other hand, it forces fans to drive up to Green Bay to see the game (on a Sunday), which has the potential to be one-sided based on how the teams currently stack up.

Count 2026 wide receiver commit Tayshon Bardo among those excited for the opportunity.

For Badgers fans who are also Packers fans, the enthusiasm was abundant.

Covered a ton of #Badgers games in Madison and in myriad road venues. The atmosphere for the LSU game in 2016 was second to none. Incredible energy. https://t.co/vLvoawqDoU

Others didn't seem to be fans of these neutral site games.

Why would you do this to the students? There’s not even a significant capacity difference between Camp Randall and Lambeau

Neutral site games suck. Stop it.

Neutral site games suck.

Play college football on campus. Period. https://t.co/lP7vENUswB

Some fans just came to social media to make jokes about the Catholic university having to play football on a Sunday and potentially conflicting with going to church.
