Wisconsin Badgers outdoor hockey Feb 20

The University of Wisconsin announced on September 1 that college hockey will return to Lambeau Field on February 20, 2027, with a men’s and women’s doubleheader in Green Bay. Wisconsin said the event, branded the Travel Wisconsin Frozen Tundra Faceoff, is being staged with the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, the Green Bay Packers and TEG Sport, in collaboration with Russ Potts Productions, Inc. Ohio State’s athletic department said on September 2 that its women’s team will play Wisconsin outdoors at Lambeau Field that day. The same release said Wisconsin’s men will face Michigan in the second game, clarifying that the outdoor event is broader than a single Wisconsin-Ohio State matchup. ### Which Wisconsin teams are actually playing at Lambeau Field? (uwbadgers.com) Wisconsin’s September 1 release said both the Badgers women’s and men’s hockey programs are part of the February 20, 2027 event. The women’s game is Wisconsin against Ohio State, and the men’s game is Wisconsin against Michigan, according to the schools’ announcements. (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) Ohio State’s September 2 release matched Wisconsin’s account on the women’s game and said the men’s game will follow it. That means the social post referring to Ohio State captures only one half of the Lambeau Field schedule. ### Why did some posts mention Ohio State, while the full event includes Michigan too? (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) Kyle Cush’s X post highlighted Wisconsin, Ohio State and Lambeau Field, consistent with the women’s matchup announced by the schools. Wisconsin’s full release, however, described the day as a “marquee men’s and women’s doubleheader,” with Michigan named as Wisconsin’s men’s opponent. (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) The Ohio State release also said the women’s game is part of the Travel Wisconsin Frozen Tundra Faceoff rather than a standalone event. In practice, that means references to Wisconsin-Ohio State are accurate but incomplete if they do not also mention Wisconsin-Michigan. ### Has Lambeau Field hosted college hockey before? (uwbadgers.com) Wisconsin said the February 2027 event will bring college hockey back to Lambeau Field for the first time since 2006. The school framed the date as a return of outdoor college hockey to the Packers’ stadium after a two-decade gap. (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) Lambeau Field is in Green Bay, and Wisconsin’s release said the event will be played there on Saturday, February 20, 2027. The announcement did not list start times for either game. ### Are tickets on sale yet, and what details are still missing? Ohio State said pre-sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, September 9, and general on-sale will begin Friday, September 11. (uwbadgers.com) The Buckeyes’ release also said one ticket will grant access to both the women’s and men’s games. Game times and broadcast designations “will be announced at a later date,” Ohio State said. (uwbadgers.com) Wisconsin’s September 1 announcement likewise did not include kickoff-style scheduling details beyond the February 20, 2027 date and Green Bay location. ### How does this fit into Wisconsin’s 2026-27 hockey calendar? (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) Wisconsin’s official 2026-27 men’s hockey schedule is already live, but the Lambeau Field release provides the clearest public detail so far on the February outdoor date. Earlier Big Ten scheduling information had outlined conference weekends and opponents, with exact dates and times to come later. (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) September 9 is the next key date for fans, when pre-sale tickets are scheduled to open, followed by the general sale on September 11. Wisconsin, Ohio State and event organizers have not yet published game times or broadcast assignments. (ohiostatebuckeyes.com) (uwbadgers.com)
