Attendance Section Expanded
to Include Total Stadium History



Along with the usual season-ending archives for HTP, the Lowes Line, and the Waterboy, HailToPurple has made some additional changes to the game-by-game section of NU history. We've tried to make the game history the most complete and accurate list of official NU games available. The HTP list differs from the school's official records primarily with several dates and game locations. We've tried to use multiple sources to confirm both.

The biggest change, however, to HTP's archives is the expansion of our attendance history. The page listing NU's average annual attendance had begun with the 1942 season. It now stretches back to 1920, when NU played at Northwestern Field, and it covers the entire history of Dyche Stadium / Ryan Field.

And NU's list of sold-out games, which had begun with 1974, now includes all sold-out home games since 1919, covering much of Northwestern Field's history, and including every sold-out game ever played at Dyche Ryan.
