Ryan Field Tickets

Ryan Field is the official home of the Northwestern University Wildcats football program. It is located near the university campus in Evanston, Illinois, just north of Chicago. Ryan Field opened on October 2nd, 1926, making it one of the oldest stadiums in the United States. Though the venue was originally known as Dyche Stadium, the university agreed to rename it in 1997 to honor the contributions of Aon Corporation Founder Patrick G. Ryan, who was the chairman of the board of trustees at the time. It currently has a seating capacity of 47,130. Purchase your Ryan Field tickets right here at StubHub.

How can I access the stadium by public transportation?

Both the Central Street train station, served by the Metra's Union Pacific North commuter line, and the Central station, served by the CTA's Purple Line, are located two blocks away from the stadium. You can take one of the rail lines to the station from the Chicago area. Shuttle and bus services are available as well.

Does the stadium have on-site parking?

Guests attending Ryan Field events will find seven parking lots located right next to the stadium. These are reserved for guests with parking permits.
