College Football Game at Wrigley

Post by Hungary Jack »

Northwestern's AD is working pretty hard to play a Cat's home game at Wrigley Field. Possible opponents include Illinois or Rice.

I think it's a great idea, and would certainly plan on attending. From a financial perspective, the Rice game probably makes more sense because early season non-con games in Evanston tend to draw only about 20,000. I think WF would sell 40,000. An Illinois game would turn Wrigelyville into a frothy madhouse for an afternoon, which would be great.

A cool, "throwback" type idea--the Bears played at Wrigley for years. However, this move could conjure some serious negative karma for Northwestern:

Hell hath no fury like a jilted Dyche....

Also, it's not as if anything significant in terms of baseball is ever happening at Wrigley in August/September :D :D

I'd freakin love it if NW played Iowa there. I'd make the trip back to Chitown for sure. Illini would be fun also, of course.
