You can replace that once in awhile with a brandname venue like Soldier Field in Chicago. You can't replace that with a no-name SeatGeek soccer stadium in Bridgeview.

That is my #1 reason. Nostalgia. I’m not sure I feel as much of it once inside the stadium but more so on the drive(same drive I took when a student) and just arriving on campus. As for SeatGeek stadium, I really like these smaller but proportional new stadiums. It creates great in-game atmosphere. Really hope Huskie fans fill it.

I hope so too, not for STF's sake but for the Huskies. Also be interested to hear what kind of in-city promotion he has in mind.

They ran a “pub to pitch” for the soccer fans there. Buses would pick you up from any of 5 different nearby pubs and bring you to/from game.
