This was the first season of artificial turf at Camp Randall Stadium; the Tartan Turf home opener was against Washington of the Pac-8, who had just installed AstroTurf at their Husky Stadium in Seattle. Outside of these two, the only other University Division venues with synthetic turf in 1968 were the Astrodome (Houston) and Neyland Stadium (Tennessee).
