The temporary home for the Northwestern University Wildcats has officially been named Northwestern Medicine Field.
The team held their first practice at the lakefront stadium, where they will play for the next couple of years while the new Ryan Field is built.With the new season home opener three weeks away construction crews are making sure the stadium will be ready.
"It's just great to be out here. This is our stadium. This is our home that we're going to be playing in, so it's great to get out here, get a feel for things," said wide receiver AJ Henning. "We've been cooped up in camp so far, so it's great to get out here today." "You can see Lake Michigan right here. What other stadium has that? It's kind of close knit, but it still has a lot of seats, so it feels like a college stadium," said running back Cam Porter.
"I think it's a mix of big 10 football, Friday night lights, a little bit of high school feel to it," Braun said.
