Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald wants the Wildcats to be known as "Chicago's Big Ten team."
While one of the nation's largest city's might be a draw for some recruits, many also want to have the best facilities money can buy for their workouts and development.
After announcing plans for a new facility last November, the athletics program shared a video showing what the building on the shore of Lake Michigan in Evanston and north of downtown Chicago will look like when it is complete.
Fitzgerald called the new facility a game-changer when the $260 million project was announced, and it looks like it will be a nice addition to the campus.
The Wildcats are scheduled to begin spring practice Feb. 23.
