Crowd Today

If you live anywhere near Chicago, and most fans who go to games live in some reasonably close radius. (100 miles, 200 miles??) you have the chance to go to Wrigley at least 81 times a year if you desire. A football game at Wrigley is a curiosity, but once you have seen one or two it’s not that big a deal.

Spot on.

The first time we did this freaking Game Day was there because of the novelty. The NYTimes and Washington Post did articles. Live reports from local TV stations. Northwestern playing a game at Wrigley! How cool is that!

That wore off. This year the game was on the Big Ten Network and it featured the number two team in the country!

Simple fact is for BUCKEYE fans, it was what it was for us nine years ago so they turned out. Plus they have a ton of fans in Chicago.

Wrigley looked pretty good on TV. Not ideal, obviously, but it has been improved each year.

Having the teams on opposite sidelines was a big plus.
