Five of Northwestern's seven wins last season came at home, and head coach David Braun thinks that the team might have an even greater advantage at home with the new Ryan Field.
Braun likened his home stadium to a historic venue during Big Ten Media Days on Thursday.
"I think the two things that really stand out when you step into the New Ryan Field, if you're ever fortunate to stand at field level, I mean, you truly feel like you're in a new-age Roman Coliseum. You feel the intimacy. You feel the fans on top of you, the canopy, the acoustics are going to act more like a dome than an outdoor stadium," Braun stated .
Northwestern's David Braun percolated with optimism over the "transformative" OC hire in Chip Kelly and "new-age Roman Colosseum" stadium in New Ryan Field. He tells ESPN: "There's no greater visual to what level of investment we're putting into football than that."…

Braun continued by talking about the construct of the seats further away from the field.

Northwestern fans will have their first chance to cheer for their gladiators at Ryan Field on September 5 against South Dakota State.
