Northwestern / Illinois -- WHAT A JOKE

[c4yrslf12]

Has anyone heard the news about the game at Wrigley yet? The whole game will be played to ONE END ZONE! The end zone by the famous wall at Wrigley will not be played to due to player safety concern. This is one game I WILL NOT WATCH due to the absurdity and obnoxiousness involved in constantly rotating the direction of play. It's a good thing the decision was made when considering interceptions, fumbles, etc. Good call.

How long will this game take with that setup, 6 hours? Crazy.

good looking out bro .... I was just about to make a play on Illinois -7.5 with Persa out ... but now with all this nonsense I think I'll stay away from this game ...

Ha this is great! I just heard about it on the radio. THe only scoring allowed in the right field end zone will be kickoff/punt returns, interceptions and safeties.

We have a UFL team here in my hometown and they play in a baseball stadium. Cant believe Wrigley is smaller. Did you see the pic? CRAZY!!

On a side note..... due to contruction at ALLEN FIELDHOUSE in Kansas..... North Texas and Kansas will be playing half court basketball tonight with the rule "make it take it" in effect!

And gameday is going to be there??

Can't wait to see this fiasco. I think if they laid the field out the other way it would have fit fine.

What a bunch of idiots!!! why would they even agree to this. Is not like you're throwing Auburn/Alabama out there, it's N'westrrn/Illinois. The schools, Wrigley and the city of Chicago will look like a bunch of idiots

[superjeff24]

this is going to be the dumbest game ever

[tattoosoker]

this being the case is why i want to watch it hahahaaha

It should be really clear as to why no games have been played in Wrigley in so many years. C4yrslf12, "This is one game I WILL NOT WATCH due to the absurdity and obnoxiousness" I noticed your avatar is a Bengal’s logo. I am a fan too. I have taken your reasoning of not watching the Wrigley game and applied it to the rest of the Bengal’s season. Lucky this week local broadcast is blacked out.

wonder if this was done intentionally to build more interest, no way they were that far off in their projections, i don't think it really effects the game much and will just add to the buzz

They probably could have found a better placement of the field but wanted to maximize the number of decent seats. The thing is, 95% of the people at the game won't care. As long as the beer is flowing, Wrigley is happy. And if it isn't, the Wrigleyville bars certainly have plenty.

i feel bad for the fans at the other endzone all the offence was going the opposite way
