With new schools joining the Big Ten and Ryan Field’s redevelopment underway on Northwestern’s Evanston campus, the Wildcats will host their rivals at a temporary location on the lakefront for the next few years.
The voice of Northwestern Football and WGN Radio sports director Dave Eanet visited the newly named Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium this week and saw his new broadcast booth for the first time. Assistant Vice President & Deputy Athletics Director Jesse Marks led our tour, showing us some of the best spots to watch a game this season. Our full video is coming soon, but you can get a sneak peek and get excited with the below photo gallery:
