No more Wrigley games. Please.

[RazzmaChas]

The novelty of Wrigley games is clearly gone for NU fans. I understand that it's a bit of a money grab for the school. But it's gross.

If you look at the home conference opponents in 2025, only Michigan makes much sense for Wrigley. But why roll out the red carpet and let them take over the place?

Minnesota, Oregon, Purdue, UCLA are the other conference opponents. Please just play at the lake.

One other request...rather than giving the visiting teams entire sections in the north end zone at the lake, can we just allocate the crappy seats near the top?

agree. unmitigated disaster on so many levels. i have no good memories from this experiment.

Agree. There is no more novelty and it’s probably enough of a difference from our home game routines to make it like an away game. I wonder if they even make a net profit from it compared to just playing on the lake.

Don't know if NU makes a profit at Wrigley but at least pick a place where we win. We're 0 for Wrigley. Painful.

Opposing Fans actually show up for Wrigley.

Next season Northwestern has 5 conference opponents at home. Michigan is an obvious choice for November, but so would Oregon. My opinion is Minnesota, UCLA and Minnesota could be accommodated lakeside.

Given the fact that Oregon’s trip to Madison was the latest two time zone trip for anyone in the season, I’d expect the Oregon game as soon as Wrigley would be ready (a buffer after the World Series concludes) with Michigan the Saturday before Thanksgiving. (fWIW, 2025 in another 14 week/double bye calendar season)

I’ve enjoyed the Wrigley games I’ve attended and continue to support the way it’s being used…

But after next year you won’t have to worry about ever again, we’ll have our palace to play every game in forever.

I think we should play one game at Guaranteed Rate field to show we are really Chicago's Big Ten team not just "The North Side Of Chicago's" Big Ten team.

March onto the field to the tune of Bad Bad Leroy Brown...."Well the South Side of Chicago....." LOL.

Radical idea. Our fans should take over the place. I guarantee you if the game was played at Tiger Stadium in Detroit the Michigan fans would outnumber the Wildcat fans.

My main office is in Detroit. I'll be a very popular person at work if MI is at Wrigley lol.
