Football Series at Soldier Field <-- Full story

So, what's your point. ND isn't much farther away than DeKalb.
It's their back yard also. And, the place will be jammed solid.

that is more "their" backyard than our backyard i would contend. very little population in chicago cares about NIU. a lot of population in chicago cares about ND.

Yes, NIU Alumni in Chicago really have come out in force for the Huskies when we have played there.
How many does Frazier tell us we have there and that we need to cater to them?

My wife and I have driven from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago for all of the Soldier Field games. We will not do so for a night game late in the season at whatever they are calling White Sox Park these days.

I don't blame them. Chicago is a sports town, and the melting pot of the Big Ten. Alot of people that went schools in the midwest like Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Mizzou, Notre Dame move to Chicago after graduation to avoid small town living.They could do Lucas Oil in Indianapolis, but that city is boring.

Gosh, it would be really nice to play a game at Guaranteed Rate Field ON A SATURDAY. Too bad it will never happen. To tell the truth, it would also be nice to play at Huskie Stadium on a Saturday.
