EVANSTON, Ill. – More than 3,400 Northwestern students have registered to attend the 2018 Big Ten Football Championship Game in just over 36 hours since the Department of Athletics & Recreation offered tickets and transportation Monday.
Monday evening, in conjunction with an anonymous benefactor, Combe Family Vice President for Athletics & Recreation Jim Phillips announced the department would provide tickets and travel to Indianapolis for any undergraduate student who wanted to support the Wildcats at Lucas Oil Stadium on December 1. All told, nearly 45-percent of the Northwestern undergraduate community is set to travel 200 miles south to the Indiana state capital for the Conference title game.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for Coach Fitzgerald and our football program, but also for our entire University community," said Phillips. "We are eternally grateful to the donor who stepped forward to generously support this trip for our students. Athletics provides a gathering place for Wildcats from all over the world, whether on campus, at a bowl game, or next month at Lucas Oil Stadium."
Northwestern clinched the Big Ten West Division crown with a 14-10 win on Saturday at Iowa's Kinnick Stadium. The Wildcats will meet the champion of the East Division on December 1 at the home of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, with the game scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. CT on FOX. The team visits Minnesota this Saturday in the penultimate game of the regular season, with kickoff slated for 11 a.m. CT on Big Ten Network.
