Inside the sights and sounds of Ohio State vs. Northwestern football at Wrigley Field
CHICAGO — A new tune was introduced to the soundtrack of Wrigley Field on Saturday.
In a ballpark known for its seventh inning stretch and victory song, “Go Cubs Go,” Ohio State football fans echoed a new sound.
“O-H”
From the concession stand lines on the concourse to the packed streets of Wrigleyville, the popular response could be heard.
“I-O”
With Northwestern’s Ryan Field under construction, the Wildcats took homecoming to the city’s north side ballpark.
It provided a backdrop for an outpouring of Ohio State fans to take over one of the nation’s biggest cities and one of MLB’s oldest ballparks.
Scarlet and gray fills Wrigleyville
Wrigley Field’s centerfield hand-controlled scoreboard has been updated to reflect the sport taking place Saturday.
Its out of town scores are labeled to represent quarters instead of innings, with the Big Ten’s Week 12 slate displayed.
Behind the scoreboard, at the intersection of Sheffield Ave. and Waveland Ave., the popular bar Murphy’s Bleachers filled up early for an 11 a.m. local kickoff.
Its patio was flooded with scarlet and gray.
However, despite a small contingent of Northwestern fans, Ohio State fans were trolled just a couple buildings down from Murphy’s Bleachers.
A fan donning an Oregon shirt stood in a window — similar to a mannequin at a Michigan Ave. shop.
He had with him a sign that read, “Ohio St has not beat Michigan in 1,813 days.”
Signs of baseball remain at Wrigley Field
The infield was covered with turf, ensuring no play takes place atop dirt. However, small patches of the warning track provide a reminder that Wrigley Field is, still, a baseball stadium.
Fans in right field also had an opportunity to experience a baseball-centric moment during warm-ups.
The Allstate-sponsored netting that stops kicks from going into stands isn’t in place in the east end zone.
As kickers practiced pregame, field goals going that direction made it into the right field bleachers like a home run.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day said, ultimately, the game is about 100 yards of grass and not what surrounds it.
But for these in the stands, Saturday provided an experience unlike many in college football.

Cleveland boy, 13, dead following ATV crash in Erie County
ERIE COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) – Ohio troopers said a 13-year-old boy died Thursday from injuries stemming from an ATV crash on Sunday afternoon.
The highway patrol has identified the victim as Lamonie Campbell from Cleveland.
The crash, which also hurt a 10-year-old boy, took place around 1:45 p.m. in the eastbound lane of State Route 113 in Milan Township.
The 10-year-old was operating an ATV, with Campbell as the passenger, when the crash happened.
A Toyota, operated by a Berlin Heights man, struck the ATV as it entered State Route 113 from a private drive, troopers said.
According to the highway patrol, the ATV caught fire as a result of the crash, which also sent the Toyota off the roadway before it rolled and struck a pole.
First responders first took the boys to Fisher-Titus Medical Center for treatment.
Troopers said the 13-year-old was later flown by medical helicopter to a Cleveland hospital.
There’s no update at this time on the 10-year-old’s condition.
State Route 113 was closed for approximately one hour and 50 minutes.
The highway patrol will continue to investigate the crash.

Colt Emerson Leads Mariners Past Guardians In Return to Ohio – WHIZ – Fox 5 / Marquee Broadcasting
CLEVELAND, OH – Some three years ago, Colt Emerson was tearing it up in the Muskingum Valley League for John Glenn, on his way to being named the Gatorade Player of the Year, right here in Ohio. Now, fast forward to 2026, he returns home for the first time as a pro, as the Mariners faced the Guardians in a true homecoming for Emerson.
“Being here is special. A lot of games growing up, coming here. So it’s going to be pretty surreal” said Emerson before game one of the series in Cleveland. “I love the game, you know? I respect the game, and I’m just so grateful to be here.”
Growing up a lifelong baseball fan in Ohio, Colt always knew this day would come, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to pinc himself every now and again when he puts on the Mariners jersey.
Emerson continued, “If ten-year old me can see me sitting here, see me on the field, that’s the only thing that matters. It’s been a fun journey.”
The game started slowly for Seattle, with no runs or even hits to talk about, at least until Emerson took the plate in the third. With one swing of the bat on an inside change up from left handed pitcher Joey Cantillo, he sent one into the right field seats for a home run in his first at bat back in his home state.
“I can’t even describe it” said Emerson, with a broad grin across his face after the game. “When I saw it go out, I took my time around the bases, just to look around, you know? You grew up playing here, and your first at bat, you hit a home run. It’s cool.”
Colt had quite the efficient ball game, reaching base three times with two walks, and accounting for two of the Mariners’ runs in the three to one victory. It is his first career multi-walk, and multi-run game in the major leagues.
Emerson continues to amaze his manager, Dan Wilson, each and every game.
“Like we’ve said before, he just sees the game and he senses the game and knows what to do in the right situation, and tonight was another example of that” said Wilson.
It’s another memorable moment in the remarkable rookie career of one of John Glenn High School’s finest, as Emerson continues to provide a much-needed spark for Seattle.
The Mariners are in Cleveland for two more games this weekend before heading back on Sunday night.
