The first nfl-type stadium in college football

The new Ryan Field will be the best place in America to watch a football game, soccer match or concert. It’s the first NFL-type stadium in college football and will be among the nicest stadiums in the world — and by far the nicest stadium or arena ever built in the Chicago area.
