I absolutely enjoyed going to GRF to watch a football game. Much easier to get in and out of over Soldier Field or Wrigley Field and the amenities are even better. It is my hope that they will schedule more football games there in the future.
Great fun with family at the football game. Stadium was amazing. Good job converting baseball field into football field.
Way overpriced for a college game in an empty stadium. Maybe Northwestern vs Illinois or Notre Dame next time.
Event was great - even though the attendance was low due to the Cubs game (which they won!). Initially I got tickets to the West side of the field, but we wanted to sit on the East side and the staff accommodated this for us - thank you!
If you haven't been to an NIU homecoming game lately you don't know what your missing. I highly recommend tailgating before the game and a walk through the beautiful campus. The weather was gorgeous and the stadium is really first class. Well done NIU!
Getting to the game & parking was easy & familiar. You get in a brisk walk between the parking lot & stadium. Along the way many friendly tailgaters playing games, listening to favorite music & having a great time. Of course they are cooking, with aromas ranging from BBQ to casseroles to sweet treats it kept us in a cheerful state of mind. Arriving at the stadium, we quickly found our gate & got in. Inside were many diehard fans talking up their team & how they were going to win. With many food selections it was hard to choose but eventually had pizza, nachos & pretzels. The stadium was comfortably packed as this was the start of the season & realtively warm. Both teams had their moments to shine & it was tied up at the end of regulation. NIU put up a good fight but eventually lost on a third overtime Michigan TD.
The weather was gorgeous. The setting was beauatiful. The play of the two teams invilved was pitiful. At least 4or 5 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties were called. All of which were unneccesary.
The tailgating scene here is great. People grilling out and playing bags while drinking beer and soda...pretty standard but cool to experience. I would recommend visiting "The Yard" if you get a chance for live music and entertainment. The game itself was great featuring a lot of great action and a comeback win for the Huskies. The fan base is very excitable and intense during the game. Great atmosphere.
Huskie stadium is always fun and such a nice experience. Parking is easy to find and NIU makes the games so much fun.
So much tradition at Huskie Stadium, it's an amazing experience!
Great time. Too bad they lost. The seats were great the 1/2 time was fun. It was good to see all the students in attendance.
Always a good time at Huskie Stadium. Homecoming. Great weather. Large, vocal student cheering section. Fun. Love Game Day experience in DeKalb. You messed up if you weren't there. Just too bad they lost. No post game entertain kind of ended the day on a low.
Northern just did not come to play on Saturday afternoon. Eventhough they scored first, they played from behind for the rest of the game.
Had a great time back at NIU homecoming. Game was great all but the final score. Huskie's loss.
The game was exciting and fun. My family had a great time.
A pretty good time. Most fans in general admission stand the whole game, which I don't want to do. We switched to the top of the stadium, where we could see better. Up there, the prairie winds are stronger and it was a cold day. I wish they wouldn't blare loud music so much. I had to scream in my friend's ear just so he could hear me.
What a game with NIU winning by 3 pts. Parking is easy, $10, by the Convo Center, then a 2 block walk. Suggest you dress warm, as it was a 4pm game, and the weather was windy and cool.
good seats for a great price! had a great time!!!!
Game was good. Food was poor and who doesn't have hot beverages at a football game in 45 degree weather?
Even though it was VERY cold out. It was a great game. Jordan Lynch was awesome. Huskies are going to the MAC championship game then hopefully to a bowl game :-) Go NIU Huskies!!!
