Agree, prairiedawg. This just pops up all of a sudden with no discussion or even a hint anywhere outside the a.dept. Some questions:
--- Did STF approach the SeatGeek management, or did they approach him? Where did this idea originate? Related: STF had to run this by someone ... who?
--- Who are the principals with SG stadium and management?
--- Did BYU have any role in this (never mind their official gee whiz statement)?
--- Is there a plan to connect/transport DeKalb fans to this, promote this with those 160,000 Chicago alumni, or provide some means/promotion for students on-campus and "suitcase school" weekenders to attend?
--- What is the $$ cost/benefit on this ... cheaper than operating HS?
--- Does NIU get anything out of providing SG with a one-time "tenant"? And is there a longer-term usage/repeat clause anywhere attached?
--- This would be three/four weeks out of HS ... is any renovation or other work planned during that time?
--- What are the TV arrangements?
--- Aside from "engagement," how does this affect NIU branding, as STF mentioned?

Note: I am NOT in any way implying anything legally wrong. It's just that this is such a big change to a major game that just wanting an "engagement" with those Chicago alumni is not enough explanation.
