Quick Glance: Northwestern University Initiates Ryan Field Demolition for New Stadium

Contentious debates lead to the teardown for a new stadium on the Evanston campus.

Demolition of the nearly 100-year-old Ryan Field is set to commence shortly after months of controversies in Evanston regarding the construction of a new stadium.

Demolition may commence as early as the week of Jan. 29 and is expected to last approximately four months, according to a university news release.

The $800 million stadium will host six full-capacity concerts and a variety of other activities each year in addition to football, the result of a narrow vote by Evanston City Council.
