NORTHWESTERN TO PLAY MAJORITY OF ITS HOME GAMES AT ITS PRACTICE FACILITY FOR NEXT TWO SEASONS​

Per the university’s release, Northwestern is continuing discussions with other Chicago-area venues that could host some 2024 games. Considering Ohio State's fanbase is among the best-traveled in college football, the Buckeyes’ game against the Wildcats on Nov. 16 is a likely candidate to be played at a larger venue.

Wildcat Report, Rivals’ Northwestern site, reported in February that Wrigley Field is a likely venue for the OSU vs. Northwestern matchup. Northwestern has not announced venues for any specific games.

I really wanted to attend this game ... especially since my son now lives in Chicago. (excuse to visit) I found tickets initially unavailable while they searched for a venue and then mapped Ryan Field to Wrigley. Now I see them on the aftermarket sites out of reach -- prices are through the roof! I immediately inquired to Wrigley Rooftops on February 24th, and they promised to put me on the waitlist for notification while they figured out what they would do. I have not heard back from them. Looks like I may miss ..

From the Wrigley Rooftops manager: "
As of now we still do not have pricing and information regarding the game. When we do, I will reach out immediately.
You are still on our waitlist.

I may be in the minority but this would be a TERRIBLE place to go and watch a football game.

You are right in the sense that Wrigley Field is not designed for football. I think they have to change the way the game is played to accommodate the field's shortcomings. It is a rare and unique and perhaps once-in-a-lifetime location. What was worse was Ryan Field in 2022 where the Buckeyes played in the blizzard wind tunnel and the poor performance and bad stats damaged CJ Stouds Heisman's hopes.
