Northwestern's Temporary Home Field Upgrades for Next 2 Years
Northwestern University will build a temporary field at the Lanny and Sharon Martin athletics facility on its Evanston campus for football, soccer, and lacrosse games while Ryan Field is being rebuilt. The temporary structure, with views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, will serve as the home venue for the football team for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, as well as for the national title-winning lacrosse team and both women’s and men’s soccer teams. The facility aims to provide a stunning backdrop and reduce travel burdens for student-athletes and fans, while also benefiting the Evanston community.
