Members of the UW Marching Band will be on hand, along with Bucky Badger and the cheerleaders. Athletic Director Pat Richter and others are expected to make brief remarks. There will be food stands available, where fans can purchase refreshments and brats.

The tri-level Hyatt Atrium is next to the Grand Hyatt Regency in downtown Indianapolis and is accessible from either the ground or second levels. Buses to the pep rally will be provided for WAA tour participants starting at 2 p.m.

The RCA Dome, the site of the game, is two blocks away and is within walking distance from the rally.

If the Badgers win on Saturday, another pep rally will be planned for Monday prior to the championship game. It would be held in the same location at a time yet to be determined.
