Northwestern/Illinois football game at Wrigley?
According to a recent article from the Chicago Tribune , it looks like Wrigley Field may play host to a football game. Wrigley Field used to be the home of the Chicago Bears until scheduling conflicts with the Cubs became too great. The game would be a battle of the Big Ten: Northwestern v. Illinois. While I think this would be a cool idea, I have a hard time finding such an event being popular in other states. I think the midwestern states would tune in, but outside of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, etc… no one would really care about the teams on the field. According to the tone of the article, it sounds like this will definitely happen sometime be it 2010 or 2011. I just hope both teams get really good by then!
