Illini vs. NW to use only one endzone...Good planning

[ThatHawk03]

For Northwestern Wildcats-Illinois Illini game at Wrigley, offense will use one end zone - ESPN Chicago

Who thought it would be a good idea anyhow? Now they can't kick field goals onto the street!

Kinda weird that it took them this long to figure out that it would be an issue.

Wow...why wouldn't they have thought about this before they turned Wrigley into a football field?

 

[Schneid]

It is amazing how Wrigley's right field always ends in failure. Sosa brings shame to the Cubs. Fukudome is a total flop. Now this fiasco, What A Joke!

This is becoming kind of a cluster. Half-court football, anyone?

How hacked-off would you be if you had seats in the right-field bleachers, where you will be guaranteed to not be anywhere close to any touchdowns? At least you can look up and see it on the videoboard ... oh, right.

The Big Ten office is getting hammered on this one, and they should be. To green-light the entire project all along, then announce this change the day before the game is bush-league.
