Northwestern roll call

[CC Mac]

Who’s going? I looked into tickets a couple months ago but holy cow.
I know it’s all about supply and demand but I can’t justify 300-400 dollars for 2 tickets.
It looks like a pretty cool setup right on the lake and there shouldn’t be any bad seats.

This has been one I’ve been looking forward to. Right there on the lake. Even the face value crappy away team tickets were like $130

I got tickets from IU before the season started, only 15k in the entire temporary stadium and with IU doing well, prices have gone up a ton.

Hopefully IU can be 10%+ of the crowd.

lol we'll be more than half. There are like 5 times as many IU alums in Chicago as there are NW alums.

I think there will only be bad seats. The sidelines don't go high enough for good sight lines, so most seats are in the endzone. I bought my seats through IU, and I received an email bumping me to the endzone a couple of weeks ago .

We're bringing four. Not a cheap game to attend, that's for sure.

if I still lived in the burbs, I'd be there.

can I hope for a Florida bowl game?

I'm actually hoping we're 30%+. But honestly I'm not sure how many will drive up to Evanston w/ the pricey tickets (offset is the stadium is a cool novelty).

The Orange Bowl hosts a CFP semifinal game.

I have two pairs of tickets in N-2 available for face value of $300 a pair. I'd rather keep them in the family before listing them. I'll monitor this post for a couple of hours.

I will be watching on TV as our Hoosiers whip NW as the drive is too much for me.

Same, in past 2+ decades I haven't allowed my shadow to lighten the landscape of Chitcago. Overhyped, oversold and way overvalued.

 

[Jssanto]

I had to go to Canada for a few days and thru next week til done. Can’t get tv coverage. Will need frequent play by play from forum

It’s a matter of how many NW fans sold tickets because people don’t realize how many IU fans are in the Chicago area that would buy these up. Lot of alumni up there.
See games at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Could be same type of deal.
I would have to think that NW sold the vast % of their tickets to their fans prior to the year. Now, being a bit down, they might unload those tickets for the $$$.

I’ve thought that as a possibility. But with such a small temporary stadium, it can’t be THAT hard to find 10k die hards for the home team. Shit, even Memorial Stadium would be full if it were that small

 

[Tammany Hall]

There were unsold tickets available through NW up until a few days ago, and the StubHub prices weren’t much higher than face, so all things considered it’s not bad for Chicago area IU fans if they want to go.
