Wisconsin 's 2009 football opener, Sept. 5th against visiting Northern Illinois, is set to kickoff at 6pm and will be televised by the Big Ten Network .
It'll be the fifth night game at Camp Randall Stadium since 2005 and the 13th in Stadium history. The last time the Badgers played a home night game against a non-conference opponent was the 2002 opener when they rallied to beat Fresno State 23-21.
