Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5333410, member: 4613"] All true. And I do think the new Ryan Field at Northwestern is a very different structure than your typical stadium. Check out the visuals if you haven't already. Canopies covering all the seats. Far more ADA compliant. Premium clubs. Many other amenities. Ryan Field and Rentschler Field are complete 100% opposite structures. USF's is probably somewhere in the middle. Sure this is a lot of fluff, but the bottom line is, it is an investment in the Northwestern Campus, not a shell football stadium 30 minutes away. "With the new Ryan Field, we are introducing a bold new vision for the future of college sports," said Pat Ryan Jr. "This stadium is not just a world class football stadium; it's for our students, and student-athletes, our fans, our alumni, and the Northwestern and Evanston communities. We're committed to creating spaces that embody the best of what the modern fan experience can be, while building a legacy of economic empowerment and cultural benefits for our community. The Ryan Family is proud to be partnered with Northwestern in creating this transformational project." "The other 360 days of the year, the new Ryan Field will be an asset and hub for the Northwestern and Evanston Communities" [URL unfurl="true"]https://nusports.com/news/2024/11/18/a-bold-new-vision-for-college-football-unveiled-at-northwestern[/URL] [/QUOTE]
