Wisconsin fans may become more acquainted with the Friendly Confines over the next few months.

Earlier this summer, rumors around the Badgers' football matchup with Northwestern began to swirl again when it was reported by the Daily Herald that the game could be moved to Wrigley Field if the Chicago Cubs are out of playoff contention by September 21st, something that looks likely after they were swept by the Cleveland Indians earlier this week. After a matchup at Lambeau Field was floated past Northwestern donors earlier this year, the matchup is currently set for a temporary stadium along Lake Michigan that will seat less than 15,000.

Two teams guaranteed to take place at Wrigley Field are the Badgers' hockey teams. The men and women are slated to play games on Saturday, January 4th at Wrigley Field as a part of the Frozen Confines Big Ten Hockey Series featuring Big Ten hockey programs. The women will play national title contender Ohio State while the men will battle Michigan State. The men's teams from Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Penn State will make up the games on Friday.
