Once the Bears build their indoor stadium in Arlington Hts., I could maybe see the annual end of season game between NW and ILL on Thanksgiving weekend being moved to the new Bears stadium every year.  

Afterall, the students all go home for Thanksgiving weekend, and I am guessing a large percentage of ILL alumni live in the NW Chicago suburbs.  Plus the game will be indoors.  It could probably get a decent crowd every year.

I've long thought that would make a lot of sense even at Soldier Field.

Hopefully they bring a tape measure before they try to play it in a baseball stadium again though

not going to be with the ILL alumni

unless Bert gets much better

today will be a test for him

those Thanksgiving weekend games are only well attended if the conference title is on the line or something of substance
