2026 Schedule
- Thread starter Ramaj St. James
- Start date
As in actual game times? First 3 games- dates are set but not the times. Think the later games depend on network scheduling, and that is usually 2-3 weeks out ahead of games.

Future Rutgers Football Schedules
Here's a look at every game scheduled for Rutgers Football over the next couple of college football seasons.
Wait...so next season four of RU's first six games are on the road ? Followed by home games vs. Indiana and then Michigan ?
Excellent way to break a new quarterback and a new defense. Thanks to the schedule-makers..
No.
"Date TBA" means the Date is "To Be Determined".
Conference games specific schedule hasn't been released.
I think it was released December 10 last year so I suppose it could be as soon as next week. I'm really eager to see the date of the Northwestern game as I'm hoping to attend if the date cooperates.
Yes - would be a cool trip if the Cubs are in town that weekend too.
And the Schiano apologists will say he has built us to a mediocre program. LMAO
Ever been there? Fun city, very walkable and lots to do and see.
I’m hoping for an early season game that aligns with a trip to wrigley. If stars align for a trip to ND or Soldier field too, I’d be ok with it
hole again…I've been there many times, never come close to being "shot or mugged". Turn off Fox News, its rotting your brain.
I wonder what percentage of people who think Chicago is dangerous have been there? Would guess about 0. And then how many would praise going to a city like Nashville that is far more dangerous?
Oh well, more fun for the rest of us.
Chicago is a great city to visit, and the crime problem is largely not taking place in places visitors like me would go. I’ve been these many times. But the crime problem is very real and the bad reputation is well earned.
Chicago is one of the best cities in the country.

This.
Looking forward to our trip to Northwestern and Chicago in the Fall.
And all the BS about crime is fake.
The crime rate in Chicago is nowhere near other cities. Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Houston, Washington, Denver, etc. are higher.
50 shot
7 killed
That’s almost the average EVERY WEEKEND in the summer . Hope for a later game , crime goes down in winter cause it’s too cold to shoot. Just look out for 2 Jamaicans at 1am if it’s 5 degrees out !!!! Don’t get Smolleted late at night !

2025 YTD Crime statistics for US Cities. Chicago is not even in the Top 25 most dangerous cities. Two NJ cities are. Don’t let facts get in the way of your unhinged rants.
TOTAL MURDERS HIDING BEHIND RATE

Yes it is real in non-touristed areas. It is like saying "Don't to go to a RU game, there's crime off Livingston Ave in NB or Plainfield!"
The reputation though is exaggerated as we see in this thread. You see the comments about getting shot and mugged- the talking heads putting out this propaganda are not adding in the fact that it's 1) it's one part of town, not where tourists go and 2) Chicago isn't even in the top 15 most dangerous cities in America. The most dangerous are places like Memphis, St. Louis, New Orleans...and the discourse is focused off of these for sad reasons and ones that are unfair to Chicago.
I see/hear it everyday now that the "Chicago is so dangerous crowd" has added NYC to their repertoire...and even roping in JC and Hoboken at times.
LOL do you not understand what RATE is
Chicago is 2.72M people
Memphis is 610k (less than Hudson or Monmouth County)
Meanwhile the media focuses on one, it's such a shocker that then the propaganda comes out
And then they want to talk NYC...8M people...less murders in raw numbers than Memphis, with less people than Monmouth County! Seems like that should be a big friggen story?!
I know what rate is
You and Big Al Sharpton don’t care about 500 BL’s ??? 500 dead is ok with you cause Chicago’s “ rate “ isn’t the worst ??!!
500 dead doesn’t concern you as long as you can go shopping and enjoy dinner ???
at this “RATE “ if I keep on going you might not be able to function the rest of the week
So if Rutgers defense is on field for 80 plays
and only 6 are more then 10 yards their “ RATE “ of big plays isn’t that high , to you the 6 TD’s allowed isn’t bad cause Rutgers big play “rate “ is lower then last years.
who cares if they gave up 42 pts the big play “rate “ continues to drop

Anon appears not to know what a ‘rate” is. The Per Capita violent crime rate in Chicago is significantly lower than many other US cities. We are seeing an agenda being pushed here nothing more. I look forward to visiting Chicago and the new Northwestern stadium.
It’s selective demagoguery and scapegoating for partisan political purposes. Violent crime can occur anywhere and is a concern for everyone, but the idea that it is a recent development and worst than ever is ludicrous. There’s a lot of nostalgia about the past these days. Nostalgia isn’t historical accuracy, it’s what people want to remember. I grew up in the 1970s, murder rates in most urban areas were much worse than they are today. During the 1970s , murders in NYC were the 1500-2000 range annually. Today they are in the 300-400 range.
there are parts of chicago that are bad but none of the parts anyone here would venture to. It's like any city of it's size, you've got good and bad
So Anon is not just clueless about football -appears to apply to other things too
Honestly, per capita crime rates are not a very good measure of crime problems. They serve to deflect the issue where it is actually the worst by making large cities look better and small cities look terrible.
Not true.
Per capita rates indicate how likely you are to be the victim of a violent crime in one city vs. another city. Evens things out based on realistic percentages. You are more likely to a victim of a violent crime in Houston or Phoenix than in Chicago. And as Rutgers95 states folks on this Board are not venturing into those areas. RU fans traveling to Chicago will have a great, safe time.
In other words, you have a better chance being murdered in Memphis or Nashville than you do NYC, Chicago or LA.
Glad you concede the point.
Ok so looking at raw numbers versus per capita, Memphis- 610k people- less than Monmouth County- has more murders every year than NYC, 8 Million people.
Yet, which is the city that is demagogued?
Either argument is a loser from those that give the crazed media a pass.
There are unsafe cities in this country. None of them are NYC, LA or Chicago in the sense of where the average tourist is going.
Concede what ?
You just confirmed my point. Chicago is safer than Nashville, Memphis, and Houston. Thank you
