That's the name of the temporary stadium, according to Matt Fortuna.

That dude should rocket to the #1 spot in our ongoing AD search.

Got a nice thank you letter today from Jesse Marks for my season ticket “donation” to NU athletics. Donation? Extortion would be more like it. Wonder if the mob sends shakedown “thank you” notes?

TrueNU is auctioning off a VIP experience for the Duke game, including a hotel room and pregame sideline passes. Great way to support our guys and, with any luck, get a cool experience on the lakefront:

Lou are there any planned practices that media will attend from which we can get updates or information? Also, is Big Ten Network doing their usual camp show? If so what's the date?

Our @mshelton33 toured NU's new temporary lakefront stadium and files this report.

I see you can pay for them, but do you pick them up and take them to your seat? Are they pre- fastened.? If so, do they ask during checkout which seat?

Prefer to bring by own or rent by game, if possible. Gotta have one or Mrs Phat will struggle

I talked to 4-star 2026 TE Lincoln Watkins about his offer from Northwestern, his relationship with NU TE coach Paul Creighton, his taste in music, the six positions he plays for Port Huron Northern, track and field and more.

The ninth question in our Ten Questions series. @lou v breaks down if the Wildcats can continue the outstanding turnover margin that led the team to a bowl game in 2023 in 2024.

Three-star Mandeville (La.) RB Nate Sheppard made official visits to Duke, Cal and Northwestern last month, and his time around David Braun and Chris Foster left an impression on the talented all-purpose back

NU has put out more info on the lakeside football facility. Looks like capacity will officially be just 12,000. The temporary facility will remain erected until the end of the 2025 season. Lighting upgrades will be done next week.

Hi all,

This is a project I've been working on the past few days and I think it's ready for roll out. I've been taking photos of Ryan Field during the demolition and construction the past few months, and recently took some of the temporary lakeside facility the other week when I was up in Evanston. I normally tweet out a few of the best photos each time. I thought something cool to share on The Rock would be my full camera roll from each site so far.

I've organized my photos chronologically and put them in a Google Drive folder, which is linked below. I also thought it'd be a great opportunity for you all to share your photos, if you have them!

Anyone with the link can access, upload and edit. I'll be monitoring it around once a day to organize uploads or edit out unrelated photos. Any photos uploaded directly will display your Google account name so if you'd prefer to avoid that you can email them to me at wrphotoupload@gmail.com and I'll get them up as soon as possible.

I'm happy to answer questions or troubleshoot issues if you have them here on the board or via DM. I hope you all enjoy the photos!

Bought a couple for the Miami game. Can’t wait for this experience!

Some really good stuff in this interview.

After more than a decade on hiatus, EA Sports' college football video game franchise is back. I broke down what Northwestern looks and plays like in the new game.

Some whispers I’ve heard…

Go Cats!

Maryland looks half-decent on both sides of the ball...

...but that hasn't stopped the "Mike Locksley's getting fired in 2024" train from chugging along.

The problem for Locksley (and the Terps) is they just waved goodbye to the best QB they're likely to EVER see at Maryland.

Add a feeling that the Best Times have already passed to a horribly back-loaded schedule, and you could see this thing spiraling out of control.

Maryland still has an okay defense, and they still have Roman Hemby. We'll see what happens.

The Tom Allen era at Indiana, once so promising, came to an end with a resounding splat.

But Indiana sure looks serious about picking up the pieces. The Hoosiers made an inspired hire in Curt Cignetti, and IU is splashing some cash...the new DC is making $1.1 mil a year!

Indiana also has some interesting pieces on Offense...but this defense was arguably the worst in the Big Ten last year, and it's a long road up.

Cignetti will probably make some strides in Bloomington, and this is a friendly schedule. How much progress can he make in year 1?
