Five Football games...
Northwestern and the Chicago Cubs have entered into a partnership that will result in the university staging athletic events for many of the school's 19 varsity programs at Wrigley Field over the next several years, the two sides announced Tuesday.
The events will include five football games, with the dates still pending while the field completes its ongoing restoration project. The first Northwestern event at Wrigley Field will take place on Apr. 20, when the school's baseball team hosts Michigan

This would be way cooler if the game was being played in May. I'll still probably find a way to make it down there, but it would be nicer if it was warm.

I'll be there
I use to manage a bar less than a block from the stadium, can't wait to see the Maize and Blue from the bleachers at Wrigley! Hail!

My only concern is that very few people (in the North) follow college baseball. If there are 10,000 people there this would be awesome. If there are 500, it will still be pretty cool, but significantly less so.

I bet more than a few thousand will be there. There are a ton of Michigan alumni in Chicago and most people will look for any excuse to go to wrigley and party.

Curtis Granderson's number 28 he wore at UIC was retired yesterday. He also donated money towards a multi-million dollar stadium that will be named after him.

Anyone know when they are going to start selling tickets for this?
this came a few years too late.
could Michigan have thought of this and save Tiger Stadium?
But what a great idea to play in such a historical place. Kids will have a great memory.
Back In 2001...
As I recall, one of the few games actually played in Tiger Stadium between the end of the 1999 season and its demolition was a collegiate game, but it was the Great Lakes Summer League, not a Big Ten or major conference game.
As for Michigan and Northwestern playing in Wrigley, I definitely agree that it is a great idea to play at one of the two remaining ballparks built before 1960. Excellent way to connect with the history of the game.

CMU and state play an annual game at Comerica every year called Clash at Comerica and it attracts about 5 people, 4 of them are parents.
Why they don't follow hockey's lead and have Michigan play state in Detroit in baseball every year is beyond me. Other than this year, that game at JLA has sold out every year. One of the harder tickets to get.

Hmmm
Playing in Detroit or playing at wrigley in Chicago, big difference...

For football at least, wasn't this a train wreck last time they did it?

I don't particularly like baseball, but I love matchups in historical venues, so, awesome!
I'd go see women's quidditch if it was at Wrigley.
