They also have two big lawn areas/practice soccer fields there (or so the aerial shows). Could be some nice tailgating. Expect/hope STF makes some promotional announcements or arrangements. Also would help to post a transit map. Maybe get RTA/CTA to cooperate.

Also, NIU has one of the biggest campus bus systems in the state. Could develop a "caravan" to/from the game that would ease the burden on fans out this way.
