football at wrigley field? kinda cool!

yeah, yeah, yeah, swong's not the biggest follower of sports. but i thought this was kind of interesting. (sorry that this is a week old...i'm kind of behind on my google reader. i have 800 unread items, eeeek!)

NU will be hosting a few football games next season at wrigley field. they're still working out some stuff but it's a probable thing. and heyyy since NU came to chambana last year...that means our team would head north next season, yes??? aka there's a good chance an illinois game will be at wrigley field!

soo i'm not a die-hard cubs fan nor am I really that interested in Big Ten football....so this news is blog-worthy because..? well, i just think it'd be really fun to go to this game! sporting events are more of a social thing for me; watching a game is another way to hang out with friends/have stuff to talk about later. the whole following-stats-and-news-constantly is not my thing. i just don't have the time or interest in it...sorry.

sooo...reasons why swong wants to go to this game --
  1. i'll be 21 then, soooo tailgating = wrigleyville bars! (ooooor at a friend's apartment and then we can take the el down...so many fun possibilities!)
  2. it'd be a fun weekend escape from school
  3. wrigley is really pretty
  4. they'll probably serve beer during the game (and again..I'LL BE 21!!!)
  5. football hasn't been played in wrigley since 1970 (this is history, yo!)
i'll keep following stories on this and let ya'll know!
