So the word from the N Club is that the practice field is seriously being considered
- Thread starter FeralFelidae
- Start date
Nice try, but April Fool’s Day doesn't happen for a while. You’re thirteen days early.
I'll bet there's a thread about it on The Rock, although my sources come directly from the N Club.
Given how few people will attend the first 3 games, we could probably hold the games at Blomquist Gym
Just have everybody bring their lawn chairs. Can't be done in the time frame given site work,lead time for materials, avaibility of competent contractors, sanitation, impact studies,safety inspections not going to happen.

Practice field rumor
Met with many jaundiced eyes.
Temporary stands?

I thought it was all a joke, but some Googling found a company that specializes in building modular stadiums quickly.

They seem to have done some impressive work, but when I consider the need for plumbing and electrical infrastructure, I am skeptical if it can be done in time. Also, I have to say that I have no desire to renew my acquaintance with port-o-potties.

They did F1 Las Vegas and they also did a temporary stadium for U of Hawaii which looks intriguing -I thought it was all a joke, but some Googling found a company that specializes in building modular stadiums quickly.

The practicality of constructing a stadium on time is not an issue. As GoCatsGo2003 pointed out, the logistics of moving people throughout the campus would be a considerable issue.
I advocate that despite the imperfections, the lakefront solution would be better than an off campus solution where plausibly less than 10,000 would attend. NU might as well limit capacity temporarily and keep the games on campus with the incredible backdrop, especially for the sparsely attended early season game.

There's a lake right there if you need to, you know.
And
Just do it for the 3 early games then. Heck, we might not get 10k for them anyway (see-Maryland game). Pretty sure we can handle 10-15k people 3 times. Might take some planning by the adminis----HAHAHAHAHAHA
Is it a 100 yard field? If so, we did pretty well in 2020 with no fans
The N Club still exists? They had zero post game events in The Wilson Club last year.
In normal years, the NCAA does have minimum attendance requirements (average of 15,000) for FBS football teams.
