Chicago is a huge market, lots of competition for the entertainment dollar


And Northwestern is really not in Chicago, Evanston, where no transit. Even Boston College has transit access.

Northwestern is a small school, and they have to work harder just to compete. It's alot like Maryland, and some situations Ga Tech. Also, most of their programs are not real competitive, and competing with the Bulls, Bears, Cubs and White Sox along with the blackhawks much less entertainment of city life.. and fast pace high demands for times...... Just hard.. to get a crowd.

But they cannot give up, just ratchet up the marketing as much as they can.........
