[NU Sports] NU at Wrigley

Yeah I'm fine with Soldier Field ( wish the ND game was there) because its a football venue, located near central Chicago and has a history of old time college football (All Star Game up until 1976)

I'm with Alan. It was a brilliant idea, marred only by the execution problems 
with the field layout and by the defense. And I think we win the damn thing with 
a healthy Persa. 

I don't know if you can really appreciate how cool the experience was if you 
weren't in Wrigleyville that day. 

That said, once was enough for me. Or at least for a long while. Do it again in 
5 or 10 years maybe. Need a gimmick game? I'd be OK with a Soldier Field outing, 
but would prefer to stick to Evanston. I love about 90% of the Ryan Field 
experience. 

I get the wisdom of trying to make a regular association between Wildcat 
football and Wrigley, but there just aren't enough good seats for football 
there, no matter how you lay the field out.
