Bowl season in college football is a fun time for nonconference matchups throughout the country. It’s also a time for some college football in unusual venues across the country.
For Wisconsin’s Guaranteed Rate Bowl matchup vs. Oklahoma State, the Badgers and Cowboys will face off in Chase Field. The venue traditionally hosts the Arizona Diamondbacks for Major League Baseball action.
To get ready for the bowl game, Chase Field underwent a makeover with a football playing surface installed in place of the traditional infield. Chase Field recently shared a time-lapse video of the complete overhaul.

The bowl game dates back to 1989, when Domino’s Pizza sponsored the Copper Bowl. The game was first played at Chase Field following the 2016 season in the TicketCity Cactus Bowl.
