Iowa will face Northwestern in a Big Ten football game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field on Nov. 4.

It is the latest in a series of games played at the baseball stadium since Northwestern and the Chicago Cubs announced a multi-year agreement in 2013.

The Wildcats hosted Purdue at the historic ballpark on Nov. 20, 2021, with the Boilermakers winning 32-14.

Northwestern played Illinois at Wrigley Field in 2010 in the first college football game played there since 1938.

The Chicago Bears played home games there from 1921-70.
