Today, it was announced that the Northwestern/Illinois football game scheduled for November 20th at Wrigley Field will be sponsored by Allstate and called the Allstate Wrigleyville Classic. NU also unveiled the logo for the game, which is a purple mock-up of the classic stadium's marquee.
The Northwestern/Illinois game will be the first football game at Wrigley Field in 40 years (The Bears played at the Friendly Confines for an extended period). I'm pretty sure I'm going to be there on November 20th. The only way to get a ticket for NU-Illinois is through season tickets, so I'm contemplating a season ticket purchase. I can't wait to see the set up. I know recently officials have given clearance for the use of rooftop seating on the gameday. The Allstate Wrigleyville Classic definitely promises to be a classic game in a great environment.
Also as the press release noted, Northwestern football is going through its most successful stretch in school history.
Northwestern opens the 2010 season on Saturday, Sept. 4 in Nashville, Tenn., vs. Vanderbilt (6:30 p.m. CT).
