About Northwestern Wildcats Football Tickets
The origins of Northwestern football date back to 1876, when a group of students played a friendly match against the Chicago Football Club, though the program did not play its first official intercollegiate game until 1882 against Lake Forest College. In the early years, the Wildcats competed as an independent before becoming a founding member of the Western Conference (later the Big Ten) in 1896. The nickname “Wildcats” was first used in 1924, when a Chicago Tribune reporter described the team as a “wall of purple wildcats.” Like many schools, Northwestern briefly suspended its football program in the early 1900s due to concerns over the sport’s brutality, but the team rebounded and claimed four conference championships between 1926 and 1936.
For much of the mid-20th century, wins were harder to come by, but the program had a resurgence under Gary Barnett, who led the Wildcats to a storybook 1995 season, finishing undefeated in Big Ten play and earning a trip to the Rose Bowl. Northwestern won the conference that year and again in 1996, and later claimed a share of the title in 2000 under Randy Walker. Longtime head coach Pat Fitzgerald, a former Wildcats linebacker, guided the program from 2006–2023, leading the team to multiple bowl appearances and Big Ten West division titles in 2018 and 2020. In 2024, Northwestern promoted David Braun, who had served as defensive coordinator and interim head coach in 2023, to be the program’s new permanent head coach.
The Wildcats play home games at Ryan Field (formerly Dyche Stadium), located in Evanston, Illinois, just north of Chicago. With its lakeside campus setting, rich traditions, and competitive spirit, Northwestern football remains a proud part of Big Ten history.
