I like it too. Went to an ND-Northwestern game in Soldier's Field a while back and had a good time. Much easier traveling for those that are from more than a day's drive.
It's pretty much a 2 for 1. Chicago not exactly a neutral site for the Irish. But I can imagine it's a little more attractive for Miami fans traveling, lots of shopping for the wife, lots of hotels that aren't going to double or triple their rate on football weekends like in South Bend. Terry
