Camp Randall Memorial Stadium Case Study: University of Wisconsin - October 30, 1993
Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport, Vol.15(1), pp.139-176

Abstract
The case study method is used in numerous business schools to help highlight how a business or organization responded to specific facts or situations. The same technique is commonly seen in sport management programs with textbooks dedicated to case method analysis for sport marketing decisions. Case studies are often used in sport law classes to examine a court's decision based on the facts highlighted by the court. However, it is very difficult to develop case studies since the information necessary often is very difficult to find. In the legal contexts, real cases are often only seen in appellate court decisions, which normally do not highlight all the critical facts and even some of the minor facts that could have provided valuable clues for how management should have responded. Sport law cases rarely have all the discovery documentation upon which a judge and/or jury would analyze. Without having sufficient background information, students will have a harder time really understanding a case and being able to apply its conclusion to other settings. The following case study has been successfully developed through obtaining official documents used or relied upon by the court or the various parties involved in the Camp Randall tragedy.
