3x5 Northwestern Wildcats College Football Flag
Northwestern University – Wildcats
Founded in 1851 and located in Evanston, Illinois, Northwestern University is the only private school in the Big Ten Conference and one of the most academically prestigious universities in the country. With an enrollment of over 22,000 students, Northwestern is home to a passionate and loyal fanbase — the Northwestern Wildcats — who take pride in cheering on one of college football's most resilient and competitive programs.
Football Program History
The Northwestern Wildcats football program has one of the most remarkable turnaround stories in college football. After decades of struggle, the program was revitalized under legendary head coach Gary Barnett and then Pat Fitzgerald — who became one of the longest-tenured coaches in the Big Ten. The Wildcats have won 8 Big Ten championships (including shared titles) and made multiple Rose Bowl appearances. Northwestern has produced NFL players including Paddy Driscoll, Otto Graham — one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history — and more recently Ifeadi Odenigbo and Rashawn Slater.
Stadium Details

Opened: 1926 | One of the most unique settings in college football, situated just blocks from Lake Michigan

"Go Cats" – Slogan Meaning
"Go Cats" is the rallying cry of Northwestern fans everywhere — a declaration of purple and white pride and support for one of the Big Ten's most academically distinguished programs. It's heard throughout Evanston on game days and at Wildcats watch parties across the country.
