The one thing Northwestern does is change which sideline they are on depending on time of year and weather. The Gophers have traditionally played there in November, so the home team was put in the sun (opposite the press box side), with Minnesota on the west side in the shade (colder). This year with the game in October, who knows for sure? Probably will still be on the press box side, but Northwestern does switch sidelines depending on weather and other factors. I think the only school in the Big Ten that does this. So, if it is really important to you to be on the Minnesota side, you may want to wait until day of game to find out which side.
