I'm totally sympathetic to season ticket holders (I am one) and DeKalb businesses but it's worth a try. I've seen quite a bit of enthusiasm for this game among my friends due to it being located closer than DeKalb.

SeatGeek could be super loud with roofs on both sides, might be a fun venue for a one-off game.

Are those friends of your's going to only attend that one game only because it's closer and not attend any games in DeKalb after that because it's "too far"?

We've played four games in Chicago now and that has not brought more casual fans to Huskie Stadium. I doubt playing a game outside of Chicago in a soccer stadium is going to gain more new fans that will now suddenly drive to DeKalb to watch us play Rhode Island, or Akron on a weekday.

These friends are casual fans who I can get to a game at Huskie Stadium maybe once every four years. This game will have no impact on that. Nor would they have attended this game if it was at Huskie Stadium by the way. My point was that at least we may be able to get a good crowd for this one game. Also as I've noted in other posts, I don't think anything short of changing conferences can improve attendance in DeKalb, just my opinion.

We’ve had Utah, Boston College and SanDiego State in Dekalb. Did any new casual fans start regularly attending NIU football after those games? It’s a promotion. It’s goal is promoting the Huskie brand. Almost nothing will bring new fans in outside of an excellent team or a media hyped superstar player.
