Is there an outlook for field for this? This is during Morris' "fall break" so I'm tempted to come down and play if there's an opportunity.

This is Homecoming Saturday and the mighty undefeated Northwestern Wildcats are coming to town, so get your hotel rooms early!

And plan for more traffic the day of the event. 11 am kickoff means tailgate lots start filling up at about 8.
