NU Day @ Wrigley 2023
On May 9, 2023, more than 4,000 members of the Northwestern community attended the Cubs game at Wrigley Field for NU Day @ Wrigley. The annual tradition dates to at least 1980, according to University Archives. Before the game, where the Cubs took on the St. Louis Cardinals, alumni celebrated the occasion at Brickhouse Tavern. Inside the Friendly Confines, Bienen School of Music student Ryan Dearon ’23 MMus sang the national anthem and Northwestern Men’s Basketball Coach Chris Collins threw out an opening pitch. A portion of the proceeds from the special ticket sales raised more than $16,000 for Northwestern’s Student Activities Assistance Fund, which offers students financial assistance to participate in campus programs and events.
