[Husker] TV options for Nebraska at Northwestern game?

[Shawn Sherlock]

I lived across the street from Dyche Stadium from 2004-2008, and from looking at 
what goes into a night game there it would probably need the extra time for 
planning; even for the basic lighting.  Unless they have recently added them 
there are not lights on the stadium, so they have to be trucked in.  Plus the 
Northshore is a world unto its own.  


I'm still debating about making the trip to see friends and catch the game.  If 
you havent been before, plan on tailgating.  Evanston is not much of a party 
town and most of the bars are reletively new and not close to the stadium.  But 
if you are looking for drinks I would recommend the Celtic Knot in downtown 
Evanston.  While in the Northshore I would also recommend going to see the 
Baha'i Temple (http://www.bahai.us/bahai-temple/) in Wilmette (not too far from 
the stadium).

As I understand it, the Big Ten requires night games to be announced before the 
start of
the season.  Gary, correct me if I'm wrong on that.  

ESPN is already showing the Oct 20th Penn State @ Iowa game as having a 7PM CDT 
kickoff,
so it doesn't seem likely the Nebraska at Northwestern game will be moved to the 
evening.

I believe the city of Evanston and Northwestern have an agreement about night 
games that
is is even more restrictive than the Big Ten's.  Evanston also requires notice 
before the start 

of the season and limits Northestern to one night game per season.  Northwestern 

has already had a night game.  

(Evanston and Northwestern have a long and often acerbic history, stemming in 
large
part from the fact that Northwestern doesn't pay property taxes but can place 
considerable
demands on the city for services, especially on football Saturdays.  When I was 
a student
the University bought the city a new fire engine one year to try to mend things 
a bit.)
