Northwestern to face Wisconsin at Wrigley Field in 2020

Northwestern Football and Wrigley Field are headed for a reunion. The Wildcats will take on Wisconsin at the iconic ballpark on November 7, 2020, according to a Chicago Tribune report.

The game will take place almost exactly a decade after the last football game at Wrigley, a 48-27 Illinois victory over NU on November 20, 2010. That game was both historic and hyped up with College Gameday in town, but bad weather and 330 rushing yards from Mikel Leshoure made it an imperfect experience for Wildcat fans.

As many will remember, only one end zone was used in that game.
