The beautiful old ballpark continues her transformation for football in less than two weeks, when Northwestern will host Purdue on November 20.

As you can see there, and could see in the last update, the only way to have two working end zones this time was to remove the home dugout and some of the seats on the third base side. Wrigley’s renovation included removable seating over there for precisely these types of events, so mission accomplished.
More looks inside the part – just waiting on the paint to go down:
