Kolek planning to go pro
Could not get a deal with the United Center?
Seriously? They couldn't cover the overhead.
.DePaul was offered a deal to play in the UC for free. Why not Northwestern?
Rosemont is the Wisconsn Dells for Millenials. Because of the B32, this will be a good move.
I wonder how many season ticket holders NU has and how many students will show up at the games?
Fat millenials with lots of tattoos and affinities for dumb t-shirts?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Remember it is only one year as they remodel Walsh-Ryan. Since they are sinking many millions into that stadium (in addition to over $200 million in a new athletic facility on the lakefront) I cannot believe the rent of the UC for 17 dates was a deal-killer.A school that is spending that kind of money on a new basketball stadium, and would like to see its basketball team breakthrough and get its first ever bid to the NCAA ... the novelty factor of playing in the UC for one year could be something that reminds Chicago a Big 10 basketball team exists in Chicago and maybe get some sweather-vests to consider making the trip to see them play.
I wonder if they tried to make a deal to rent DePaul new arena
It's really not hard to figure out why Northwestern is going to AllState for a year.It's in Rosemont.Sincerely,The Stephens Family
I thought part of the reason for the DePaul offer was that the UC owners didn't competition from the new arena. That isn't an issue with Northwestern.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
That would be a terrible idea. Thats 15 miles from NW's campus in Evanston, roughly the same distance as Depaul's campus to Allstate. You would likely lose all student support due to the hour+ trip and it would have a negligible effect for alumni. The remodel of Welsh-Ryan was a much better move.
Specifically, Tasmanian devil tattoos with tweetie bird tees and weathered dull-pink stretch pants?
The reality is that there are only two teams that play all of their home games at an NBA stadium. Us and Georgetown. Makes us unique but playing in an NBA arena isn't usually the best option for a college team.
And you can make a very serious argument that it's a bad idea for Georgetown.
