GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – When the Wisconsin Badgers square off with the LSU Tigers on September 3 at Lambeau Field, college football fans will also get to experience ESPN’s College GameDay.
The Packers website confirmed that college football’s most-celebrated pregame show will be in Green Bay for the first time ever.
ESPN’s College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will air from 9 a.m. until noon that Saturday in front of the Brown County Arena on Oneida Street. The Wisconsin-LSU battle will be featured on ABC at 2:30 p.m.
“Lambeau Field is hailed as a football shrine and is as special of a venue as the game of football has to offer,” said Lee Fitting, ESPN senior coordinating producer. “It is an honor to be able to stage College GameDay from Lambeau as we kick off this opening weekend filled with top-caliber games.”
The six-time Emmy Award-winning show is hosted by Rece Davis, who is joined by analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack, as well as contributors Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica, Samantha Ponder, Tom Rinaldi, George Whitfield and Gene Wojciechowski.
Former Milwaukee TV sports reporter and Marquette graduate Jen Lada will also begin her first season on College GameDay as a feature reporter.
