    Northwestern will play up to five football games at Wrigley Field as part of a multiyear agreement between the university and the Chicago Cubs, the two organizations announced on Tuesday.

    "It's exciting and unique," Wildcats head coach Pat Fitzgerald said at a news conference at Wrigley Field. "We came here a few years ago. It was a bowl game-like atmosphere."

    Northwestern played Illinois at Wrigley field in November 2010, but days before the game the Big Ten announced only one end zone would be used due to safety concerns. On Tuesday, the Cubs said that won't be a problem moving forward.
