[NU Sports] Another domino, not the last one yet?

[Mike Nolan]

> NU fans don't seem to have too much to be excited about though ... I guess we'll have to settle for another home game every two years where we get swamped with red (yaa for the gate ... boo for the red) ... we just better not move a "home" game to Arrowhead! At least they shouldn't be a threat to our quest for a March Madness berth!:)

I would hope Northwestern learned from its mistakes on that years ago with 
Michigan.  No 'home' games outside of the Chicago area! 

I think Nebraska could be interested in moving an away game to Soldier Field, 
because of its larger capacity.  While I suspect Evanstonians would approve, I'm 
not sure if I would favor that, in part because we may be giving up some home 
field advantage (though we'll probably have less than half of the stadium full 
of Northwestern fans no matter where it is held) and we would also lose some 
visibility for the campus, even if the football stadium is over a mile away 
from the rest of the campus.  

Having spent several years on the Nebraska campus in grad school, it's just another 
downtown college campus, whereas the Northwestern lakefront campus has always been 
spectacular, and a major selling point.  (My wife chose NU because of the lakefront, 
for example.)
