[NU Sports] Big Ten Bowl Game at YANKEE STADIUM? 'CATS at YANKEE

[Roy Lamberton]

The NY Giants played the "best game ever" in the old Yankee Stadium in
December.

A football field fits in there just fine - with the sideline parallel to the
3rd base line. 

I'll take a bowl there - NU would get at least :20 a night during the week
prior on each of the local TV outlets. <g> :20 more than we get there now,
and in Chicago most nights. 

(does Fitz have a regular TV or Radio show yet?)

May all plans to play an NU home game in Yankee Stadium go up in  flames.  
A) 
I have no admiration for Yankee Stadium, old or new; B)  Don't tear up 
baseball fields playing football on them; C) We're  NorthWESTern, not 
NorthEASTern.  Let them play there or maybe  Rutgers-Connecticut. 
 
 
Considering that our retiring President, Mr. Bienen, is originally from  
this area, and that our incoming President, Mr. Shapiro, is currently from
up  
the road a bit (Massachusetts), they might well disagree with your  
statement.
 
I don't know why people on this list are so negative about Jim Phillips  
trying to boost the program's visibility by playing in famous baseball 
stadiums  (stadia?), unless we lose true "home" games (at Ryan) as a
consequence.  
If  we can make NU football a recognized "brand" by doing this, and provided

that  the Administration and the Athletic Dept. continue to adhere to the 
principles  that have made our program a standard-bearer for doing things
the 
right way, how  can that be a 'bad" thing?
