The Locker Room

Daddy J. has been showing his curiosity for the Home of the Wildcats. I often times forget that Northwestern University is part of the Big Ten Network (because nothing is memorable about them). My photographic memory told me that I’ve passed by The Locker Room on the way to some restaurants on Central St.
The Locker Room is located directly across from Ryan Field. Currently, there are many off-​season apparel, accessories, and gadgets on sale. Once we walked into the actual store, the space was quite cramped and hard to maneuver. However, they were well-​stocked and had massive inventories.
A older gentleman with a suit was the store attendant. He was very friendly and helpful with Dad’s searches for short and long sleeve t-​shirts. Dad thought the large size would fit, but they did run small. However, the sweatshirts were true to size.
In the end, Dad walked away with one (1) sweatshirt, one (1) short-​sleeve t-​shirt, one (1) long-​sleeve t-​shirt, and one (1) cap for $ 125.31. I thought the price was fair for these four (4) items that would normally cost somewhere between $ 150 to $ 200.
I’m not really familiar with other NW souvenir shops around, but I would recommend this place if you’re looking for everything NW (but they won’t beat Wisconsin)!

Very cramped store with only Wildcat fan gear and apparel (not enough room for visiting team stuff). Best location though, right across from Ryan Field, and for the location, the pricing isn’t that outrageous. If you have the time, I think for alumni or parent souvenirs you’re better off at the bookstore on campus, but if you need an extra layer because you didn’t look at the weather report before you left home, or if you want to celebrate a near heart attack upset win walking out of the stadium, this is an excellent choice. It’s better if you’re thin, it’s a bit claustrophobic for me.

The Locker room is a great alternative to find all your Wildcat and NU gear. Usually, you can find some pretty good specials going on. The location is perfect! Right across the street from Ryan field, in case you need some last minute stuff to cheer for those cats. Go Wildcats !!

Right across the street from Ryan Field where the Northwestern Wildcats play football. This shop sells everything Northwestern; t-​shirts, sweatshirts, hats etc. Grab a purple shirt with the NW logo on there and cheer on the Wildcats this season.
