    Kirkpatrick Softball Stadium

    This is certainly an exciting and much-needed upgrade. I'm a little disappointed they're not improving the scoreboard or the outfield seating. Hopefully the increased seating capacity around the infield means I won't have to sit out there as much.

    Tracking the 2025-26 Non-Conference Schedule

    Good memory! I can't speak to the veracity of the WIldcatNation post, but ASU definitely owes us a game in Chicago. Someone else suggested it could be part of a double-headers with IU/Marquette on 11/9 at the United Center. That's not mid-December, but it would make sense for NU/ASU to be part...

    Tracking the 2025-26 Non-Conference Schedule

    I saw that we're playing an *exhibition* H&H with Iowa State starting next season in Ames. Usually we play a D3 school in the exhibition game, but other schools play high profile opponents in exhibition games so I guess this is a step in that direction.

    On weekdays the lots are mostly used by NU employees and Evanston Hospital staff.

    Agree about skipping Hinkle. I wonder if this game will be part of a bigger event, like in Milwaukee last year.

    Tracking the 2025-26 Non-Conference Schedule

    Butler is definitely on the schedule now. We're playing them at Gainbridge (not Hinkle) in Indianapolis. And Matthew Shelton posted that we're definitely playing Virginia and South Carolina at the Greenbrier, so Butler will only be on the schedule once.

    Tracking the 2025-26 Non-Conference Schedule

    Schools have started releasing their non-conference schedules. Northwestern's schedule usually comes out pretty late (August 7th, last year), but we can start tracking games as they're revealed. We don't know much at the moment. Confirmed (5 games plus 1 exhibition): Oct 26 (Exhibition) @ Iowa...

    Tracking the 2025-26 Non-Conference Schedule

    I think I saw on BTN that we have a game at George Washington on December 21 with a return game here in 2026.

    The upper level frame is coming along. You can start to see how much taller the new structure will be in most places.

    This week they started adding the frame for the upper deck. picture upload url

    The steel is quickly being hung. I was out of town for a week and it feels like they doubled the size of the structure while I was gone. I stopped by Anderson Hall today and noticed how close the stadium will come to WRA (pic #1).

    I'm out

    Yes, good to clarify here. As of the last season at Ryan Field, Evanston posted temporary no-parking signs on several streets (Central, Isabella, Ashland north of Lincoln, and maybe a few others), but the rest of the neighborhood parking was available to the public on game days. In December the...

    The new neighborhood parking restrictions- I assume that's what you're referring to- still aren't being enforced. The parking in the neighborhood is swamped due to the East Lot temporarily not being available (Thanks, @gocatsgo2003 for covering this angle). It would also help if they hired more...

    Pretty sure there's no tailgating at the schools on Green Bay- probably St. A's too. You can tailgate in the Metra parking.
