How many are making the trip to NW?

[go4rob]

We have a group of 4 going and figured that there should be a ton of Gopher fans in attendance on Saturday.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

I live 2 miles from the stadium so does that still constitute a trip? I'll be there with my sons!

 

[restovich]

Gopher fans might make up a very significant minority of fans there.......

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

First trip to Evanston I'll be missing since 2015. Bring home a W everyone!!

 

[mngolf]

Wife and I will be there.

 

[TheOldLefthander]

We have a group of 4 flying in Friday night. Had a great time in 2019 so decided to make the trip again.

One of those trips I always mean to make ... but never do.

 

[RogueGopher]

If it's not raining, yes

Grab your Gopher gear.

Nice!

 

[State of Football]

One of my favorite trips every other year. I'll be watching from Vegas though.

 

[PoockItInfor6]

I’m on the fence about doing a day trip!

Go...it's an easy drive, a gorgeous campus and $5 will get you seats on the 50 yard line

My bride and I are meeting another loyal Gopher couple in downtown Chi-Town for brunch/mimosas, etc. Saturday morning. Then, it’ll be the Purple Line to Evanston to, and as our Minnesota March says “cheer along, to help (us) win a Vic-To-Ry”!

 

[Hates Monikers]

We seven in our group of season ticket holders all making the trip, and we're bringing five more with us for a total of 12. Bought $39 flights (each way) a few months ago and $15 tickets (including fees) last week.

 

[Chilledball]

I think there may be more gopher fans than northwester fans lol

 

[mnsportsgeek]

I had a blast at Northwestern in 2019. Unable to make the trip this year, so I’m planning to do Indiana instead which isn’t too much further from me.

Same here. Can't this year. Family stuff.

 

[LakerFan]

12 people from 5 families all heading to Chicago Friday Night! Snickers here I come!!

Oh yeah and we are going to the game Saturday.

 

[disco]

My son and I are flying in and out same day. Meeting a friend and his sons who live in Evanston and we are all going to the game. This is my first ever away game.

 

[8151]

4 of us will be present. We hope to bring the same luck we brought to Colorado!

 

[Gilthorp57]

I'll be there, hopefully I can break the hex of Evanston! Memories of cold, blowout losses on my last few visits.

I live in Lincoln Park, Chicago. I'm moving to Florida so this may be my last Purple Line battle. Good to see a 2:30 kick for the first time since I moved here 13 years ago.

If anyone wants to get together and tailgate or find a bar and watch the early games, I'm up for it.

 

[Grant]

I have gone to the NW game several times but not this year. It’s a great trip. The stadium and area don’t give you that big game feel at all but a weekend in Chicago has always been fun (hope it still is) and the Gophers often win.

Snickers. This man gets it. RTB

$10 tickets on Vivid seats, west (shade) side 20 yard line (near Gopher sections) at $10 plus $5 fee each was too much to pass up!

Staying in River North near Hancock Tower/ beach at curve on LSD, so the decision will be whether to go for the Red/ Purple line train ride ,or try something else. Car may remain in a pre-paid garage space (recommend SpotHero) until Sunday AM.

The 2:30 start makes it all work better, even a quick drive for anyone on the fence, for a Saturday drive down( take 94 to Milwaukee, avoid O'hare area, easier access to Northwestern, less congrestion off 94 south, worth the extra 15 miles in my view.

Also there are no tolls -- that's why I take that route
