Photo of Northwestern Football at Wrigley Field
Maybe they should play all their home games there! http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/11/wrigley-field-turned-into-northwestern-football-field.html

Jeez, hope no one is running out of the back of that endzone at full speed for any reason.
November 5th, 2010 at 2:29 PM ^
Let's be serious, it's Northwestern.
November 5th, 2010 at 2:14 PM ^
Might need to take a walk over to Wrigley and take a look at that.
November 5th, 2010 at 2:52 PM ^
I hate you for living and/or working within walking distance of Wrigley.

I spent a summer living at Wilton and Addison, close enough to hear the crowd at the games. It was a great summer in Chicago as the Cubbies won 97 games that year.

I hope players don't get injured because of the lay out of the field. I remeber last season someone getting injured because there was not enough space near the endzone.

For The Zimmer!

Has there ever been fan interference at a football game?
Is Bartman a N'Western or Illinois fan?
November 5th, 2010 at 2:36 PM ^
....Bartman is/was a Notre Dame alum.
November 5th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
I would be afraid to be sitting in the seats behind that endzone.

What you are looking at is the answer to one of the greatest trivia questions ever.
Question: "Name the current active stadium that has played host to the most NFL home games in league history"
Answer: Wrigley Field - Home of Chicago Bears from 1921-1970 & Chicago Cardinals 1920 - 1959.
Nobody and i mean NOBODY ever gets that one right.
November 5th, 2010 at 2:37 PM ^
but it seats less than 50k
thats why the bears had to move, the NFL wanted them in a bigger stadium
why is NU playing there? ryan field is a bigger venue
why not soldier field?

You can get more fans to show up to a game at Wrigley than Ryan Field. That place sucks.
Oh yea, it's also pretty freaking cool to play a football game in Wrigley. Soldier Field doesn't have that same vibe, it would be just another football game.
November 5th, 2010 at 3:46 PM ^
i just can't believe that they would pass up the $
good for them
you have to think a Northwester v. ill game in chicago would sell out anywhere they played
November 5th, 2010 at 4:03 PM ^
They probably make up the money in advertisements, though. I know the "Wrigley Classic" has a sponsor.
November 5th, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
The official capacity of Ryan Field is only 47,130.
November 5th, 2010 at 3:37 PM ^
Lots of Bears fans know that one.
November 5th, 2010 at 4:43 PM ^
way better than ryan field. whenever nw is on tv i think their stadium looks like an oversized high school field
