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

[Jason Singer]

Cats: First game was a win. NIU in 1982 to end the streak.

Pro: NY Giant vs. St. Louis Cardinal on Nov. 24th, 1974 at the Yale Bowl. The Giants lost 23-21 to go to 2-9. 
Apparently I was preparing to be a Wildcat football fan at an early age (pre-95 of course).
