Of course it's not open yet so hard to say but looks more like a pro stadium. Makes me appreciate the approach taken with the Bank.

I do like the trend of new stadiums with the covered part over the stands. Helps some with the elements.
 

$860 million for a 35,000 seat stadium doesn’t seems like a good value. The amenities must be outstanding.

It looks to be loud with steep seating all around and a partial canopy to hold sound in.

Hopefully, they’ll release pics soon.

I'm guessing the amount of seats & footprint could be much larger without obscenely changing the price, its the chicagoland skilled labor, and rising material costs. Everything is insanely expensive compared to 10 years ago.
 




I didn't know, until just now, that Chip Kelly is with NW. This guy keeps finding jobs. Quitting UCLA when he did, probably saved his career.
 

I think it's awesome! Gorgeous stadium. Good for NU (not that those Alumni need any support)

Click on the link, I think it will explain a lot of the amenities, which indeed look to be outstanding. It's also set up for other type events that would have a high level of amenities. I could see a lot of big name bands booking there as it has the amenities of a high-end indoor arena with seating in between an arena and a staduim. Looking forward to seeing the Gophs play there.

New Ryan Field

Once opened, New Ryan Field will feature the best college football experience in the country. From the best sightlines in college football and the new premium seating options, there will be a seat for everyone at the New Ryan Field.
