www.BLUEANDGOLD.com AUGUST 2017 11 UNDER THE DOME Northwestern University announced in late June that its Nov. 3, 2018 game against Notre Dame will be played at Ryan Field — formerly Dyche Stadium from 1926‑96 — instead of a larger venue in Chicago. The last two times Notre Dame played Northwestern on the road, the games were held at Chicago's Soldier Field in 1994 (42‑15 Irish win) and 1992 (42‑7 Notre Dame victory) to accommodate a larger audience and gate receipts. Those games attracted more than 64,000 fans, whereas Ryan Field's capacity is listed 47,310. Since its renovation, Soldier Field now holds 61,500. This will mark the first time since Sept. 25, 1976 Notre Dame will visit Northwestern's home field. The Wildcats last defeated Notre Dame in Evanston in 1962 by a 35‑6 count with future Fighting Irish head coach Ara Parseghian (1964‑74) leading Northwestern to its fourth straight win over Notre Dame — and propelling them to the No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press poll the following week. The two played each other yearly from 1968‑76, including as the Irish opener from 1969‑73, before the series went on hiatus for 16 years. Notre Dame leads the all‑time series 37‑9‑2, but Northwestern has won the last two meetings, both in Notre Dame Stadium: 17‑15 in the 1995 opener and 43‑40 in overtime in 2014. The Wildcats will be one of two Big Ten opponents Notre Dame will face in 2018, with the other the Sept. 1 opener at home versus Michigan. In 2015, the Fighting Irish did not play an original member of the Big Ten conference for the first time since 1907. Since then, it has scheduled at least one member of the conference through 2027: 2016: Michigan State 2017: at Michigan State (Sept. 23) 2018: Michigan (Sept. 1), at Northwestern (Nov. 3) 2019: at Michigan (Oct. 26) 2020: at Purdue (Sept. 19) 2021: Purdue (Sept. 18) 2022: at Ohio State (Sept. 3) 2023: Ohio State (Sept. 23) 2024: at Purdue (Sept. 14) 2025: Purdue (Sept. 13) 2026‑27: Michigan State (dates, times and sites to be determined) Notre Dame director of athletics Jack Swarbrick ideally would like represen‑ tation from the Power Five conferences on each schedule, although getting all five at the same time might not be feasible. 2018 NOTRE DAME-NORTHWESTERN GAME TO BE AT RYAN FIELD Protect yourself with Protect yourself with Protect yourself with Protect yourself with Protect yourself with Protect yourself with To learn more, visit myprotection.ezshield.com To learn more, visit myprotection.ezshield.com To learn more, visit myprotection.ezshield.com To learn more, visit myprotection.ezshield.com To learn more, visit myprotection.ezshield.com To learn more, visit myprotection.ezshield.com Help protect your checks in the event of unauthorized use up to $25,000 with the EZShield Check Fraud Protection Program® and help restore your identity with EZShield Identity Restoration®.
