Lampert Smith: UW rethinks its stadium lactation (Wisconsin State Journal)

I'm pleased to announce a breakthrough in the "breast wars" at Camp Randall Stadium.

There will be no need to strap a nursing bra on the statue of Barry Alvarez, paint nipples on the white footballs on that ugly sculpture outside the stadium, or stage a "nurse-in" at the Capital One Bowl. (Although it was fun hearing all of your ideas, really!)

The folks in the UW Athletic Department have heard the complaints loud and clear about the nursing mom who was turned away from the first-aid station where she had hoped to use her breast pump. They have apologized profusely for not doing a better job helping her find one of Camp Randall's seven new family restrooms. (The upper deck, where that mom has been a season- ticket holder for many years, doesn't have one.)

And they want to make it very, very clear that they didn't kick her out of the stadium for breast-feeding.
