One end zone for offense at Wrigley
Only one end zone will be used for offense Saturday at Wrigley Field for the Illinois-Northwestern game because of safety concerns
(ESPNChicago.com) - Only one end zone will be used for offense Saturday at Wrigley Field for the Illinois-Northwestern game because of safety concerns, the Big Ten announced Friday, and the Chicago Cubs said the decision caught them by surprise.
The east end zone is just feet away from the right-field wall, and although there is padding, there still were concerns that players could be injured there.

I wish I had ESPNU so I could watch this game. The idea of playing a football game there again is really neat. It's good to see player safety is a major concern.
