About Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium

Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium is a stadium on Northwestern University's Evanston campus at 2235 Campus Drive. It was reconfigured and opened as Northwestern's temporary football home for the 2024 season while Ryan Field undergoes a full rebuild. Owned and operated by Northwestern University, the venue holds approximately 12,000–15,000 fans in its temporary football configuration.

The site has long been part of Northwestern athletics, with the Martin Stadium name associated with the university's lakeside soccer and lacrosse facility. In its current setup, the stadium is especially notable because a Power-conference football program is playing Big Ten home games in a small lakefront venue, creating an atmosphere that is far more intimate than a typical major-college football stadium.

Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium hosts Northwestern Wildcats football, other Northwestern athletics events, and Chicago Stars FC NWSL home matches beginning in 2027. Its defining feature is the combination of Lake Michigan exposure, compact temporary grandstands, and close proximity to the field.

Location & Transportation

Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium is located at 2235 Campus Drive, Evanston, IL 60208 — on Northwestern University's lakefront campus along Lake Michigan.

Transit: The stadium is accessible via the CTA Purple Line, with Noyes and Foster stations nearby, and the Metra Union Pacific North Line serving Evanston stops. Transit from downtown Chicago is practical, though attendees should plan for a walk from the stations to the lakefront venue.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby lot parking is limited and fills early on game days. Many attendees use street parking in Evanston, where residential restrictions can apply, or campus lots. Arriving early is the best approach for navigating limited parking and campus traffic.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available near campus. After events, congestion is expected around the lakefront and campus access roads, so building in extra time helps keep departures smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in downtown Evanston, a short distance from campus. Additional options are available throughout the North Shore and in downtown Chicago for visitors planning a longer trip.

Venue Navigation

Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium uses a compact temporary grandstand layout surrounding the field. Because the venue is smaller than a permanent stadium bowl and sits within a lakefront campus setting, planning your route in advance can make game day easier.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in temporary grandstands around the football field, with a single-tier, compact layout. Sideline, corner, and end zone locations create different sightline and price options while keeping fans relatively close to the action.

Dining Options

Outside the Venue — Downtown Evanston

Downtown Evanston offers a dense dining scene within walking distance of Northwestern's campus. Fans can find numerous restaurants, bars, and cafés along Davis Street and the surrounding core, making it a practical area for a meal or drink before heading toward the lakefront stadium.

Security & Policies

Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Northwestern Athletics typically enforces a clear-bag policy for football games, with limits on non-clear bags and permitted small bag sizes. Reviewing the current event guidelines before packing helps prevent delays at the gate.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and beverages, large bags, and professional camera equipment, consistent with standard Big Ten game-day policies.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, security screening, and digital ticket verification at entry gates. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium Cost?

Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team or matchup, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from professional soccer matches to marquee Big Ten football games.

For Northwestern Wildcats college football, tickets are roughly $30–$150+ depending on the opponent and seat location. Marquee Big Ten matchups, high-demand dates, and stronger sideline locations can push prices higher.

For Chicago Stars FC soccer matches beginning in 2027, ticket prices are typically lower, often starting around $20–$60 depending on seat location and demand.

Because of the venue's small temporary capacity, high-demand games can sell out. Buying earlier generally secures better availability and pricing, while the best remaining sections often become more expensive as inventory tightens closer to game day.

Getting Ready for Your Northwestern Medicine Field At Martin Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor lakefront campus venue like this.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Limited parking fills quickly, and campus access congestion can build on game days. Give yourself extra time before kickoff or the scheduled event start.
• Wear the right footwear. The lakefront campus setting involves outdoor walking to and around the venue, so supportive shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. The open lakefront location is exposed to Lake Michigan wind and cold, especially during late-season fall football. Prepare for weather swings before you leave.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Whether you're using CTA, Metra, rideshare, or parking near campus, the walk to the lakefront venue and post-event congestion can add time.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
