Northwestern will play host to Michigan at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the home of the Chicago Cubs. Wrigley Field is the second-oldest MLB ballpark ― behind only Fenway Park ― and has a capacity of nearly 41,649. The Wildcats have played five other home games at Martin Stadium, which has a rough capacity of 12,000 seats.

For much of the second half Saturday, in front of a heavily pro-Michigan crowd, Northwestern had given its pockets of fans hopes that a rare upset of the No. 18 Wolverines was in the cards.
