A buddy of mine who is a STH talked to his Northwestern ticket rep recently, and I thought he got some info that may be useful to some folks here.
The rep didn't really have any news about venues for next season -- he gave the standard "mix of Soldier Field, SeatGeek Stadium and Wrigley Field" answer, with a promise that details to be announced at a later date. However, the big takeaway was that if if STHs want to opt out of the next two years, they won't get penalized for it. So if you skip buying season tickets in 2024 and 2025, they will ignore the gaps and it won't count against you when calculating points.
I think that's the right thing for NU to do given the unusual circumstances. It also may be necessary if SeatGeek is used because that place holds just 28,000 -- and is located 33.2 miles south of Ryan Field.
