There are lots on both the east and west side of the football stadium that you can park in. ~$15. Getting in is usually fine, getting out can be miserable. Alternatively you can park in downtown Evanston and hop the purple line a couple of stops to Central. About a 10 minute walk to/from arena to the stop. The purple line runs every few minutes, better option than Metra which will on a fixed schedule (Metra also about a 10 minute walk too)I've got tickets. Where is the best parking or should we park downtown Evanston and take the Metra?
Username checks out1. Northwestern is 59th is kenpom
2. We beat them by 30 without our best player
3. A Northwestern home game = an Illinois neutral court game
I ain’t worried

Why not thirty? Certainly not past the realm of possibility. I’m not going to predict it. That invokes a Curse. On the other hand…
Are those signs new or are you referring to the ones that have always been there from previous years? Last year when I went I just had to find a street that didn't have a sign.Be careful if you park north of Isabella which is the city of Wilmette. Wilmette has posted a lot of no parking signs on many of the north-south and east-west streets near the stadium.

I'm also still waiting for TSJ to show BooBoo who the best player in the conference actually is
TSJ will be interestingI'm also still waiting for TSJ to show BooBoo who the second best player in the conference actually is

Lmao look I’m not saying we can’t lay an egg, just saying that I don’t buy into any of the “Northwestern is great at home”-type narratives. We should beat this team easily.Matt P would like a word with you
We're not going to be much of a favorite in this one. You sound like you're holding a winning lottery ticket. Go put that money down!Lmao look I’m not saying we can’t lay an egg, just saying that I don’t buy into any of the “Northwestern is great at home”-type narratives. We should beat this team easily.
8-10 from the line is actually higher than his season avg of 77%TSJ will be interesting
It is his first road game and since NW renovated their arena home court has improved. How will he handle the heckling? Understand there will be a lot of orange
Defensively and his transition games still appear to be one of the best in the nation. Offensively in the half court he has rust.
His shot looked good but it was not there. Didn’t do well behind the arc or free throw line
I suspect it will take a few games to get him back to peak performance but it would be nice to see him shut down Boo
They finally permitted alcohol sales beginning in January 2023 and our game in Evanston was the first wet event in Welsh-Ryan. It is the only thing that got me through that debacle.
For reference, our last game against this next team we won by 30 points. And that was while we were missing one of our best players. But it was at home.
This game is at the other team’s arena. But that player we were missing for the last game is back for this game. The other team will likely have improved since the previous game. We probably will as well.
How will these factors affect the outcome of this game?
You should be. Getting a B1G road win against a team of their talent is always a questionable task. We could win by 25 or lose by 20. So much depends on so many things that take place between the ears.1. Northwestern is 59th is kenpom

There is one thing I have noticed. NW has really soft rims that is a big advantage for jump shooting teamsLmao look I’m not saying we can’t lay an egg, just saying that I don’t buy into any of the “Northwestern is great at home”-type narratives. We should beat this team easily.
Wilmette posted the new parking restrictions on some streets near the stadium this fall for many of the home NU basketball games.Are those signs new or are you referring to the ones that have always been there from previous years? Last year when I went I just had to find a street that didn't have a sign.
