Quick answer: For a Badgers home game, Pharaoh’s runs Sprinter and SUV round trips from Milwaukee to Camp Randall: about 1.5 hours each way on I-94, with pickup about 3.5 hours before kickoff (4.5 if you tailgate). Streets around the stadium close on game days, so the chauffeur drops at an agreed point, stages nearby and meets you after the game. Kickoff times are often announced only 6 to 12 days ahead, so book the date now and we set the pickup when the time is released. Call (414) 322-3751.

What makes a Camp Randall trip different
A campus stadium in the middle of a city.
Street closures
Camp Randall sits on the UW campus, and the streets around it close or fill with fans on game days. Rides cannot pull up to the gates. Your chauffeur drops at an agreed point a short walk away and uses the same kind of spot for the return [CONFIRM dispatch’s usual points].
Kickoff times arrive late
Big Ten games are often scheduled for television, and the time can be announced about 6 to 12 days before the game. Groups that wait for the time to book find the vehicles gone. Book the date, and dispatch sets the pickup once the time is out.
Staying for Jump Around
Most fans stay through the third quarter. The vehicle waits for the final whistle on a round trip, so leaving early is your choice, not the parking lot’s.
Pickup times from Milwaukee

Choosing the vehicle
Most Badgers trips are groups.
Mercedes Sprinter, up to 15
The usual choice for alumni, friends and office groups: everyone rides together and the tailgate gear goes in the back. See the Mercedes Sprinter.
Executive Sprinter, up to 13
For hosting clients or a board: executive seating and a quieter ride. See the Executive Sprinter.
Premium SUV, up to 6
Parents visiting a student, a family, or a couple with good seats. See SUV service.
Bringing alumni or clients?
A Sprinter for 15 keeps the whole group together from Milwaukee to Madison and back.
Big games on the calendar
The games that sell out the Sprinters.
Paul Bunyan’s Axe
The Minnesota game is the oldest rivalry in major college football and usually closes the regular season. When it falls on Thanksgiving weekend, book early: families and alumni are in town and vehicles are short.
Night games
Night kickoffs bring the loudest crowds and the latest drives home. Pickup is mid-afternoon and you are back in Milwaukee near midnight.
Parents’ weekend and Homecoming
Families visiting students often combine the game with a campus visit and dinner. An hourly booking covers the whole day.
Book with Pharaoh’s or one of our divisions
Badgers trips can be booked on any of our three sites; Wisconsin Limo Service also covers statewide game days.
