NW game will be at SeatGeek stadium, which holds 28,000I guess I missed something
Just about the wildest contrast you could have in your first two road games. The Grandaddy to a Peepsqueak.That place will be great to see a game. And two of the best taco places in all of Chicago are ina couple of blocks.
Huge parking lot for tailgating. Could be a great time.
Why in the world don't they just play it here as their Home game? It's not like we have anything close to a "home field advantage"... The bulk of our fans don't even bother to come inside from their Tailgate and many of the rest leave at halftime no matter what the circumstances...Just about the wildest contrast you could have in your first two road games.

What amazes me is they are building their new stadium on the SAME SITE as the old one.Why in the world don't they just play it here as their Home game?

If the NW Athletic Department had any sense they'd just negotiate the gate ($$$) and move on with their lives...
Maybe about 20 years ago I went to a game there with my friend and his son. We parked near Lake Michigan and walked to the stadium, which was a long distance away. We got a break because one student on a bicycle had a seating cart behind him and hauled us the final mile. We didn't get that same luck on the way back.What amazes me is they are building their new stadium on the SAME SITE as the old one.
That place was a bitch to find parking. I thought they were going to move it close to their practice facility.
That is a hike!Maybe about 20 years ago I went to a game there with my friend and his son. We parked near Lake Michigan and walked to the stadium, which was a long distance away.

We didn't realize it was that kind of distance. I'm not sure how many miles. When my friend's son moved to Chicago we did all sorts of things I never imagined. One of them was riding the L-Train to Wrigley Field.That is a hike!
The L itself is not that fun, but game day at Wrigley is always fun.We didn't realize it was that kind of distance. I'm not sure how many miles. When my friend's son moved to Chicago we did all sorts of things I never imagined. One of them was riding the L-Train to Wrigley Field.
The game was a 12-2 rout for the Marlins and Stanton hit a mammoth homer clear out of the stadium. That was only my second Wrigley game. The first was in 1975 against the Mets when Felix Millan hit a line drive foul off Paul Reuschel into the first base seats, hitting a beer vendor in the leg and the ball landing in front of me. He said something like "Good catch, you so and so."The L itself is not that fun, but game day at Wrigley is always fun.
There is no gate to negotiate. Conference game revenues are pooled and redistributed. Indiana(and Northwestern) get a bump over what they contribute while the Big Three (UM, PSU, OSU) get less.If the NW Athletic Department had any sense they'd just negotiate the gate ($$$) and move on with their lives..

You got to see Paul pitch? That’s cool. He plays golf in my winter league here in the south. He is a great guy.The game was a 12-2 rout for the Marlins and Stanton hit a mammoth homer clear out of the stadium. That was only my second Wrigley game.

That's TV revenue. I have to believe the gate receipts are the host's to keep.
He isn't remembered as much as his brother, Rick. But he was still good. I still have that foul ball from Millan as one of my souvenirs. Maybe you can mention that to him sometime.You got to see Paul pitch? That’s cool. He plays golf in my winter league here in the south. He is a great guy.
Yes. He told me that he and his brother hold the major league record as the only brother duo to combine for a complete game shut out.He isn't remembered as much as his brother, Rick.
