Northwestern seeks alternate field for football games – Chicago Tribune


Good afternoon, Chicago.

Northwestern University is “evaluating” using an existing campus field for football games while the reconstruction of Ryan Field is taking place.

An application made to the Evanston Community Development Department on Tuesday, requests a zoning analysis to determine if Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium could host football games, according to city spokesperson Cynthia Vargas.

The school is seeking to construct temporary seating for up to 15,000 spectators and other game-day necessities at the field.
