[NU Sports] Wrigley Field IS Big Enuff for NU Football (?)

[Jim Bendat]

Eric, you just provided an idea for a new thread: the first football game we ever attended:

For me, my first game was in 1955: SC vs. Notre Dame (yes, evil vs. evil)(and Jon Arnett vs. Paul Hornung).

And, while we're at it, my first NFL game was in 1956: Chicago Cardinals vs. L.A. Rams.

Jim B.
