Why not Loyola? Does NU have a bad relationship with Loyola or something? It's right down the road and we never play them in men's basketball. I guess the women did play last season.

I have never seen the ETHS gym, but given the usual attendance at NU women's games, it has merit.

But I'm not sure about that neighborhood at night. I never had any problems biking past that area en route to my apartment, but my experience might be different.

Great choice! It would be nice to have a few men's non-conference games there too, at least the exhibition game.

I haven't been to ETHS's gym in a while (like at least 10 years), but I remember it being pretty intimate. I think it will work well for the women. I assume we'll have to pay for some upgrades, like adding shot clocks.

I've never had any issues going to events at night at ETHS. There's ample parking on site.

I cringed a little when I saw the news... it isn't the best look to send your men's team to Allstate Arena and your women's team to a high school gym, even if temporarily.

Guess it doesn't look good but also wondering how many people usually attend the women's games. Doubtful that it exceeds the EHS capacity and would imagine that far less go to the volleyball matches. Where are the wrestlers going to do their thing?
