ESPN's College GameDay Will Broadcast From Northwestern

The hosts of the show are coming to Evanston Saturday to broadcast the game between Northwestern University and Ohio State.

Evanston will get its 15 minutes of sports fame this Saturday, when ESPN’s College GameDay broadcasts live from the Northwestern-Ohio State game. 

The hosts announced this past weekend that they will be broadcasting live from Northwestern University, as the Wildcats celebrate homecoming.

GameDay will set up for a Saturday morning broadcast at the northern area of the lakefill on Northwestern’s campus, near Lakeside Field. The ESPN show last broadcast a Cats game in November 2010, at Wrigley Field, according to Northwestern. But it’s the first time Gameday has come to Evanston since 1995.
