Some guys, they just give up living
Start down little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racing in the streets

It’d be a crazy change if NU were playing between June 22 and July 5.

I didn't mean we would be playing on those days LOL!, I'm just wondering if about all the wear and tear and if it's a good for the Park as a whole. It would be one helluva spectacle though!

What exactly am I supposed to be watching during a NASCAR race? I guess the pure power of the engines as the cars drive by would make an impression, but it seems like it would get boring after a few hundred laps.

Are we sure about 2023? This was a passing note in the Athletic article about NU's season - talking about opener:

"This year’s contest is a “home” game for Northwestern, which should bode well even though it isn’t at Ryan Field, where the program will likely call home for the next two seasons before a teardown and reconstruction begin."

Fortuna seems to think it's after '23 for new RF. Given where things are at, not too odd a comment.

Shhh. I finally moved back to the Midwest and am using the reno to say I want to go to as many games as possible in the old stadium
