New Trier (7-1) plays Evanston (5-3) on Friday at NRF and it is either a sell-out or close to it. There were some upper level corner seats available as of yesterday. Game was scheduled months ago as, I assume, a way to generate local interest in NRF. NT QB is headed to Purdue.
NRF sell-out?

Don’t know about clubs although I am in the Loft Club for NU and could not buy tickets there. I would imagine that at least some concessions would be open but have not seen anything saying so.
It looks as if the game is on Hudl:

It looks as if the game is on Hudl:
New Trier High School • Schedule
Located in Winnetka, IL. Find scheduled events, watch livestreams and explore rosters.
They are two local schools, but if they sold anything close to 35,000 tickets to a HS football game, I am amazed.

The reason I asked is if the venues with the TVs are closed it might be an interesting comparison fir how fun the stands look.Don’t know about clubs although I am in the Loft Club for NU and could not buy tickets there.

It'd depend on the contract specifics, but generally yes Northwestern's AD should be making money on any event that takes place at the stadium (which would include something like this).
For a game like this, I'd venture that the two schools get a good split of the ticket revenue while Northwestern is probably going to reap profit off concessions/parking.
The new stadium is probably going to generate around triple (maybe higher) the revenues of the old stadium over time (especially once concerts are added in). It's going to be a much bigger 2nd economic engine for the AD compared to old RF (first is always going to be the Big Ten conference share).

Even if they don't get a ton of revenue, getting that many locals into the stadium is a real plus. It is an audience that lives close enough to decide to go to any game even at the last minute. Word of mouth would be great too.
