Go See A Football Game! God!

Unlike many Big Ten matchups, Northwestern just can’t drive people into seats. According to the Trib, officials expect 17,000 vacant seats at the next game.

Let me tell you, there are perks to a Northwestern football game.

First: free beer. Goose Island does a promo before every game, with FREE 312. Everybody in Chicago likes 312, so why would you go to Wrigley and pay six dollars for an Old Style? Heck, you can’t even do that this time of year.

Second: superior tailgating. While we may not live in a place like South Bend, IN, top-notch tailgating can be enjoyed a few hours before each game. The stadium opens up to people, and you can hang out with the cheerleaders and the band before the game. And there’s free beer.

Third: screw parking; you can walk. The Davis Purple Line is a few blocks away, but compared to other college towns, getting around is a breeze. In other words, free beer and no driving is a good thing.
