Got a weird email from the N Club yesterday which kinda sorta suggested we put pressure on the athletic department to do the pop up stadium idea on the lakefront.
In any case, I emailed Alex supporting the idea.
INTERESTING NU FOOTBALL
2024 SEASON HOME GAME INFO!!!
Dear N Club Members:
We are passing along an interesting piece of information to our N Club members as we wait to find out where our NU Wildcats football team will play its 2024 season home game as the new Ryan Field emerges from the quickly disappearing Dyche stadium footprint.
It has been released from a few reliable sources (such as the following https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/1765030434277093469?s=42) the possibility of constructing a temporary 15,000-seat stadium around the team’s lakefront practice field. The N Club is not taking a position on this concept, however we want to make our membership aware of this interesting idea that might give our Wildcats a home close to home while the new Ryan Field rises over Central Street.
If you would like to share your support of this possibility, please send an email today with your reasons of support to Alex Knisely, the Director of NU Football Operations, at alexandra.knisely@northwestern.edu.
We will keep you informed as the N Club learns more about the location of the 2024 football season home games, and look forward to providing opportunities for N Club members to gather in support of Coach Braun and the team wherever NU will play this fall.
In the meantime, let’s root on our other NU teams, especially the NU Men’s Basketball Team in its upcoming B1G and NCAA tournament games!!!
