Illinois/Northwestern game to feature only one endzone

Apparently the friendly confines of Wrigley Field are too...friendly.

The Big Ten announced Friday that Illinois and Northwestern have agreed to play with only one end zone in tomorrow's game at the ballpark.

The game will be played with the one (west) endzone. The original east endzone, first thought to be spaced far enough from a padded wall in right field, was deemed to be too close to the endzone.

The change in the field-design will necessitate all offensive drives to be one-directional. Therefore, when possession changes sides, the players will switch sides as appropriate.

The NCAA has approved these changes.
