Many of the prime seats are so low to the field all you see is the back of the teams. The typical shape of baseball stadiums means there are few if any sideline seats. I saw a pic of the Pinstripe Bowl (?) where the end zone touched the stadium wall.

In pitcher's (larger) parks, provided they erect temporary seats along one sideline, as they used to do at Chase Field in Phoenix, it's not so bad. But in a hitter's (smaller) park such as Yankee Stadium it's brutal.

I expect exactly zero fans to show up.

There are some NIU fans in Chicago, so they'll show up, the ones that can't bother to go to DeKalb for a game. So some people will be there but I don't expect any big turnout. A good number of tickets are sold, but we'll see how many show up. If I can't find someone to go with me I might be watching on TV m.

I guess but why not play on Saturday afternoon. I could see lots of fans showing up just out of curiosity for a 2:30 sat game. Trying to get to us celluar on a wed night for a cold weather game just screams it is going to be an awful turnout.

Im going +12

I think Angel Stadium hosted a short-lived bowl game.

I almost forgot about this game. It got like zero publicity with the election going on. my prediction that zero fans would show up came almost true.

This has got to be a PR nightmare for NIU.
