Wisconsin is leasing the 77,000-square-foot building through April 1, 2026, for $25,000 per month used, an athletic department spokesperson said. That includes four months this season — December through March. A public records request for the lease submitted Jan. 13 hasn’t been answered.
Clack Bell said proceeds from Wisconsin’s lease payments are going to be donated back to the track program.
Indoor track installation
Workers prepare the running surface at the Badgers’ temporary indoor track and field training facility in the town of Arlington.
Beynon Sports raced to install a track surface in the facility in December and January. It includes a 200-meter oval track and a 91-meter straightaway for runners, according to a Wisconsin spokesperson. A runway for pole vault, long jump and triple jump and equipment for high jump are part of the setup.Putting the track and equipment in the temporary facility cost $400,000, according to a Wisconsin spokesperson, and only some of it can be used again once the Badgers’ temporary use is over.
