    Lakefront Stadium Looks Great on ESPN2

    Chicago Stars women's soccer team not so much. Too bad the team isn't better. A cool venue for a pro team like that that doesn't need a very big venue. Makes one wonder what the post-2026 life is for the lakefront as currently constructed.

    Explain Empty Seats and Pricey Tickets -- Didn't Make Sense....

    Exactly. So why didn't tickets open up in this range closer to game time. Did NU prohibit secondary markets from pricing? Hard to understand.

    Explain Empty Seats and Pricey Tickets -- Didn't Make Sense....

    Several folks here were talking about how the tickets were so (relatively) expensive. $40 or more pre-fees on all major platforms. No "cheap" tix like we used to see for NC FCS games at RyanField in the $5-$15 range. Yet the stadium looked only 2/3 full last night. 9K announced attendance...
