Paint Evanston Purple

Paint Evanston Purple

Northwestern University Football and the City of Evanston are teaming up to “Paint Evanston Purple!” and we want your help!

On Saturday September 10, 2011 the Wildcats are taking on Eastern Illinois and hosting Evanston Day at Ryan Field! Evanston Day is a great opportunity to come together as a community and show Evanston’s support for the Wildcats as they take on the Panthers of Eastern Illinois.

Help us fill Ryan Field on September 10th!

Check out footage from our innagural event last year.

There are special ticket offers for Evanston residents for half-off end zone seats, pre-game events featuring Evanston organizations and during-game salutes to people who make Evanston a special place. Additionally, we are hosting a citywide pep rally on the Thursday evening before the game at Independence Park on Central St.

For further information, please contact the City Manager’s Office at 847-859-7833 or by e-mail at ahernandez@cityofevanston.org.
