In the shadow of stadium construction, dozens of kids flocked to Ryan Field’s parking lot Thursday for a ‘Truck-or-Treat’ hosted by Northwestern University on Halloween eve.
The parking lot was filled with construction equipment, buses, dump trucks, police cars, tail-gating games and plenty of candy.
Northwestern said it forecast about 1,000 community members would participate in the event Thursday afternoon.

The City of Evanston will hold a similar event Friday in the parking lot of the Robert Crown Center, 1801 Main st. from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
At it, you can see firetrucks, police cars, construction vehicles and other “unique modes of transportation,” the city said.
Official Trick-or-Treat hours in Evanston Friday are from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
