From Chicago, Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, IN is closer than Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL.
Re: 2024 NU/MU game: I’m going to try to make it. I made the move to Chicago for the foreseeable future (affordability, culture, healthcare, not-so-crazy political environment), and want to explore Miami games in person for a change. Will also try to make Notre Dame, and Purdue in a few years, God willing.
Re: Future schedules (Purdue, Wisconsin, etc.): Conference re-alignment is going to make it so the also-rans of the B1G and SEC play more regional FB games. I am expecting more Miami U vs Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa State, Michigan State, UK and Vandy type games after the appeasement of the pigs (Ohio State vs Georgia, Oklahoma vs USC, Florida vs Michigan, etc.) by ESPN, Fox Sports, etc.
(edit to clarify Miami vs other regional FB teams)
