Northwestern needed a new home with his old one, Ryan Field, currently being rebuilt. The Wildcats are slated to begin play there in 2026.
The Wildcats will play their first five games of 2024 at the temporary stadium, beginning with Miami of Ohio on Aug. 31. Their last two home games (Ohio State on Nov. 16, Illinois on Nov. 30) will go down at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.
