Northwestern offers glimpse inside new Ryan Field, slated to open in 2026
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern University on Monday provided a glimpse into its plans for the new and improved Ryan Field.Renderings issued Monday showed what the new stadium will look like once the $800 million stadium is finished.The Evanston stadium will seat 35,000 people—all of whom Northwestern said will have 'better-than-TV sightlines.' The seating capacity is also engineered to create 'powerful home-field sound advantage,' Northwestern said.
The renderings also seemed to envision for the new Ryan Field something similar to Gallagher Way alongside Wrigley Field—with a Wildcat Village, movies in the park, and a space for a Christkindlmarket event and an ice-skating rink in the winter.The Evanston City Council approved the Ryan Field reconstruction and plan for concerts about a year ago.The approval came after Northwestern sweetened the deal for the City of Evanston following some major community pushback.
