Capacity: 12,023 (tickets)
2025 schedules/records: Purdue 2-4 (0-3 Big Ten) | Northwestern 4-2 (2-1 Big Ten)
Series notes: Purdue holds a sizable 55-29-1 advantage in the all-time series, but the recent history favors the Wildcats. Northwestern enters on a two-game win streak in the series. In 2023, in the final game at the old Ryan Field, the Wildcats won a low-scoring 23-15 affair with Purdue missing its starting quarterback. Last season, Northwestern walked it off on a 25-yard touchdown pass in overtime. Since the Big Ten split to the East/West division structure in 2014, the two programs have met each season, with Northwestern victorious in eight of the 11 contests.
