This is a gorgeous facility with an amazing view. I've never been to Illinois or Michigan... I had no clue how much Lake Michigan looks like an ocean. Great video
i love the player guided tours. they're the ones who directly benefit from it so their comments feel way more insightful than when a staffer or assistant coach explains stuff
This facility is DEFINITELY in the top 20! I shouldn’t be surprised Northwestern is a rich school with a $18 billion dollar endowment I can’t wait to see what they do with the new stadium. I’d upgrade that locker room too.
i have been waiting for this one for so long. Longtime subscriber and I remember when they showed the renders for this facility before building. I always told my buddies that I would go here strictly because how nice it is.
For all those saying this team is always bad, in the last ten years they have finished the season ranked in the top 25 four times including #8 in 2020, they are 4-1 in bowl games and have 2 Big Ten West Division Championships.
It was built mainly for football but it is used by other sporting codes hense why the $260 mil price tag. Its basically the hub for their sports complex
Amazing facility. Still waiting excitedly for the Auburn one since you ranked it #5 in your "The 20 BEST College Football Facilities We’ve Seen, RANKED" video
The programs split the TV money so they all get paid. Keep in mind Northwestern is a private university, they don’t need the FB team’s revenue to build impressive facilities, they already have deep pockets.
Not a chance in the BIG 10, where Iowa ACTUALLY played in the conference championship. Iowa had the worst total offensive team in NCAA, and won by a margin of less than 6 points if you take the FCS team they played off the schedule. They got shut out in both games against ranked teams and you're talking about being 7-5 in the worst Power 5 conference by a mile. 5 of the 10 worst offenses belong to the BIG 10....including those 7-5 Northwesrern Wildcats sitting in at 121/130. I'm sorry but that 7-5 record in any other Power 5 conference would be (I'm being generous) 5 wins at best. Northwestern truly sucks.
At the 0:15 mark they show NFL helmets in some area of the facility. They are hung in order by conference, division, and then alphabetical by team city, state, or region. However, if you look closely, you see that the NFC East is out of order. Dallas should be on top and Philadelphia 3rd. New York and Washington are fine where they are. Either they put them up wrong originally and no one noticed, or someone took some helmets down (perhaps to clean) and put them back incorrectly. Now I feel I have to send their Athletic Department an e-mail! :)
@@burninghammerstudios7033 Bro the fact that you have to claim the DIVISIONAL part of a conference and the whatever the Las Vegas bowl is as big time winning is crazy lol.

Teams like Northwestern make over $50mil a year just off TV deals, they spend so much money to make it seem like they don't make profit. They don't lose money they just want you to think that
@@MbisonBalrog They're apart of the BIG10, they get a billion a year from Fox and CBS, NW cut is $80 to $100mil a year but they don't pull their own weight in the conference(football wise) so they might be dropped from the BIG10 in the future, that's why they're building all this stuff trying to keep up they don't wanna lose the moneytrain
Most US Sec Colleges Football programs bring in the most money some schools have good football teams and. Basketball baseball track etc sports in general usually rakes in the most money

I would too 😂 if im above average on the football field … im leaving this school with something and thats a degree my boy 😂😂.. enjoying my time because i doubt im going to the nfl
Northwestern is about the sec equivalent to arkansas. They arent bad, but they qrent great. They both have about a fifty fifty chance of getting into a bowl agme and winning it. Both teams play in the 2 hardest conferences in the league. They arent a bad team, they just arent good enough to be playoff candidates. Most teams cant make it to a bowl game. Just because they dont meet what the conference is known to be doesnt mean they are bad.

As someone who has been to some games at Ryan Field in terrible weather, those equipment guys are the best.
Another great video...definitely one of the classiest facilities in the country
As a Sport Management major, it’s pretty dope to see stuff like this.
I didn't know they had such stunning facilities. Love the design!

This has been one of the best facilities for years; a lot of people had no idea since the football team didn't consistently garner attention
Amazing and On Patrol LIVE playing in the facility it HILARIOUS!!!
It was built mainly for football but it is used by other sporting codes hense why the $260 mil price tag.

If only they could produce a football team

I lived just north of there steps from the beach...Class of 71
lets also mention they were the winners of the 1948 Rose Bowl
I think an episode on the Purdue Boilermakers facility. Basketball or football
Gotta do a tour of university of Houston football
