“The Ryan Field proposal will change our community drastically. We don’t want to become Wrigleyville — I’ve lived there, done that,” resident Fiona McCarthy said.
A group of Evanston residents published a news release on Nov. 30 announcing their Field of Schemes campaign rallying against Northwestern University’s proposal to rebuild Ryan Field.
McCarthy said that because Ryan Field is in the heart of a residential neighborhood, unlike other university stadiums, it causes unique issues for those living in the area. Northwestern representatives said the stadium’s impact will not come close to achieving the same level of congestion nor number of events that Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood experiences.
The university has previously shared its plan to address these noise and light concerns. At a ward meeting hosted by Councilmember Eleanor Revelle earlier this fall, Northwestern’s Project Manager Steven Himes, who also worked on the 2018 Welsh-Ryan Arena renovation, said the stadium’s design will help curb these problems.The university also said these additional events will help the stadium generate enough revenue to sustain itself.
