I know someone who lives about 3 blocks from the stadium, according to him
additional night games will be over the bruised and battered bodies of 
the neighborhood association.  (He'd be in favor of it, but he's someone
whom I met at NU, most of the people living near the stadium have no ties 
to the school.)

I still remember the 'fire truck donation' indident, which did little
to appease the sour relationship between NU and the city of Evanston.
