Northwestern invites local families to celebrate Halloween at the new Ryan Field site
Northwestern and its construction partners, the Central Street Consortium, hosted the event for the second year in a row to show off the kinds of community-oriented, family-friendly events in store once the new Ryan Field opens next year. In addition to face painting, yard games and an appearance from Willie the Wildcat, crews handed out prizes for best costumes in the themes of best construction worker, best Evanston pride, best Northwestern fan and best baby costume.
