Does anyone know if there is much advertising going on in Madison for the Soldier Field game? I would think there would be a huge demand for tickets from them considering they are now the the #9 team in the country.

Yep, they're not going to spend any money advertising. Wisconsin fans will need to decide on their own to head down to Chicago to see their top 10 ranked team.
Maybe, after a big win next week, they will decide to come down here. The ticket price is a big killer. I just had two friends from Wisconsin back out once I told them the price of tickets ($70, $86 and $101 after taxes and fees). Way too high for casual NIU fans or Wisconsin fans not willing to pay so much for a MAC opponent.

Buy them from NIU and you bypass some of the fees. You'll pay $60, $75 or $90.

NIU website takes you to ticketmaster. Regardless, $60 for crap seats is still too high for casual NIU fans.

There are no crap seats in the new Soldier Field. Every seat is really a pretty good seat.
