NU Day @ Wrigley 2022 Recap

On May 17, 2022, more than 2,800 members of the Northwestern community attended the Cubs game at Wrigley Field for NU Day @ Wrigley. The annual tradition dates back to at least 1980, according to University Archives. Before the game, where the Cubs took on the Pittsburgh Pirates, more than 100 alumni celebrated the occasion at Brickhouse Tavern. Inside the Friendly Confines, Bienen School of Music student Lauryn Nelson ’23 MMus sang the national anthem and Northwestern field hockey coach Tracey Fuchs threw the first pitch. A portion of the proceeds from the special ticket sales went to Northwestern's Student Activities Assistance Fund, which offers financial assistance to students to participate in programs and events on campus.
