Northwestern is loaded with rich alumni many of whom feast on the political corruption in the area.

Yeah, they're like Vandy and will never have a huge following even thought they're in a big city. Most Chicagoans are transplants from other colleges and have little to no desire to go to a game or are NFL fans. About the only way they could address this is to go the baylor route and build a small stadium that looks bigger. Doubt they have that kind of money/care though.Windy City Ag said:
I lived a few miles up the road from Ryan Field for years and my boys and I would sometimes bike down to games and scalp tickets for nothing in the second or third quarter. The stadium is Floyd Casey-esque circa 1990. This facility is great but you would think they would address the actual stadium as well.
Notice the Tarp on the left side.
That's a weird comparison to lump t.u. in there as a standard. Alabama, A&M, Tennesse, Ohio St., Oregon, and Clemson all blow t.u.'s facilities in every way out of the water. Those 5 schools are the standard as far as facilities are concernedrbcs_2 said:Quote:

where are the renderings with the lake frozen over and the surrounding vistas looking like a scene straight out of fargo?
My wife and I visited Western Michigan one summer and drove up along the coast, it is a beautiful area with great weather. We were so impressed that we wondered what it would take to live there and looked at local home listings. Almost all the listings had photos of the homes taken in summer with the home bathed in sunshine and blue water views. Then you get to that listing with the guy selling a shack to be used as a base for ice fishing so all of his photos are from winter on the lake. One look at those photos ended the search and quickly cured any thought of living up there.Jock 07 said:

It makes me think of CU. Gorgeous area, but no one gives a sheet and stadium is trash.

Fair points. All still valid and the stadium is pretty much in the same shape.Windy City Ag said:Quote:

The only difference is that Northwestern students are intellectual and well-mannered while CU fans tend to bu unshaven, bong-huffing Aholes. That last part is based on my one trip in 1995 to watch RC once again blow a big game. The fans were complete f#$@ing jerks after the game.
That is a stunning facility. Someone with real talent designed that.Randy Cody said:
