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

[cherron604 at aol.com]

Does anybody know - is the Carrier Dome still not air conditioned ?? I attended a September game there once and the heat was miserable (in the stands anyway).? I remember somebody in print mentioning the irony of a dome with naming rights owned by Carrier not being air conditioned.

?? After reading the posts pro and con in regards to a home game at Yankee 
Stadium, my .02 is that as long as we keep 6 games in Evanston, if we schueduled 
the 7th home game?in Lower Gibbip , I'm fine with it. 

?? Facts are that a home game atmosphere can be created in the east, as many NU 
alums reside in the Eastern time zone.? As most of you know, I'm in the minority 
on our list (non NU alum) ?as I got hooked on NU in the Dark Ages as a Chicago 
resident, and have bled purple since my move to Pennsylvania years ago.? I would 
assume that ticket sales would be offered (first) to season ticket holders, 
alums, and financial supporters (Which I am one of).? 

?? Games at Wrigley, Yankee Stadium will increase revenues and exposure. As long 
as we keep 6 games in Evanston, including games vs. Mich, OSU, PSU, lets do it!

?? PS- I would not agree if we move high profile games vs. above-said opponents. 
This is "selling out"? No more "home" games vs. Ohio St. in Cleveland.



?? Doug DeCinces Dept:? As Coach Roy knows,? Doug DeCinces was an excellant 
third baseman for the O's who took over for...Brooks Robinson.? I was going to 
post some info for us east coast Cats pertaining to the 7 PM (EDT) game on 
9/19/09 game?at Syracuse, but this news pales in comparison to the story about 
Yankee Stadium!? But here goes...

?? Ticket prices are stiff; ranging from $38-68 dollars.? Prices on Subhub are 
much more manageable, about 1/2 what is offered at face value.? Additionally,? 
SU's website exclaims that they are only 9700 tickets short of a sell -out for 
Coach Marrone's first game.? I would assume that if the Goph's beat 'em, and 
they get hammered by PSU, tickets will be cheap and plentiful.

?? However, if SU beats either Minnesota or PSU (not) , tickets could be 
expensive. For the record, I expect Minnesota to put aside their excitement of 
opening their own stadium and beat SU. Lord knows they have experience playing 
in domes.

? Early Towson prognostication:? Wildelk has good news. My son attends Robert 
M
orris U. (freshman)?outside Pittsburgh, as he's majoring in Business, with an 
emphasis in Sports Mgmt.? RMU has an excellant program, and lots of 
opportunities with the Pirates and Penquins. (Internships, work, etc.)

? Anyway, Wild's wife miises her first child terribly, and has dictated that we 
will be in Pittsburgh with him (he started 8/20/09...early!) over the Labor day 
weekend, so how much of the "scrimmage" on Saturday I will see is debateable.? 
Get carries to someone,? get Persa in, no one hurt...NU 41 Towson 10.? I'm 
interested in how the defense looks, as that unit will determine how far we will 
go.



????????????? GO CATS!!!????????????? Eric

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) a
s 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?
