Northwestern’s $850 Million stadium has a unique psychological edge targeting visitors

Northwestern is preparing to debut its newly constructed Ryan Field this Friday with a matchup against Penn State. The massive project cost $875 million, making it the priciest venue in college football, though it also features the smallest seating capacity in the Big Ten at 35,000 seats.

Following the release of images showing the facility, online observers criticized the visiting team quarters for their basic appearance and lack of luxury amenities. Defenders of the design noted that the austere setup is an intentional tactic to create mental discomfort for opposing squads arriving on game day.
