Thanks for posting this, Deb. Neighbors may want to clip this and keep it on the fridge to be prepared! Note that tickets are still available for tonight's game, ranging from $20-$40 via the NU online site and presumably at the box office on Central Street, and there appear to be many more available on StubHub and craigslist, likely from season ticket holders who can't make the game.
Residents should bear in mind that Evanston collects one of the highest college sports taxes in the country, at 11%. Northwestern athletic events generated approximately a half-million dollars for the City in the 2011 fiscal year.
