Zook wants UI-NU game at Wrigley
Personally, I like the idea. I don't like the stadium (I don't care how historic it is, it's a terrible place to watch a ball game), but from what I've heard from a couple buddies who attended the Hawks-Red Wings winter classic, it was a surreal experience. Granted, our games are outside anyways, but it might be cool to try a few times. Plus the revenue for each school would be huge.

Busch Stadium is more suited.
But I don’t want to watch football in a baseball stadium. Just seems quite awkward to me.
One of a few items that Zook and I don’t agree on (not like he would or should give a rat’s ass about my opinion, really).

This would be a novelty game
The Bears used to play at Wrigley many moons ago. Why not play another game? The question would be who’s home game would it be? Since the seating is probably smaller than either school’s football stadium, at what ticket price would they need to set to break even? I bet since this would be a ‘historic’ game those tickets will fetch a pretty penny.
Games like this are great national exposure for Illinois’ Big 10 teams, and especially for catching the eye for Chicagoland recruits in hopes they move south to Champaign.
It's a Horns' world. Even Aggies play hoops with a burnt orange ball.
