The Ryan family's roots at Northwestern University go back seven decades, and their latest show of support for their alma mater is helping fund the first stadium of its kind in college football. Thanks to an $850 million pro-bono private family investment, the new Ryan Field (set to open in Fall 2026) is the biggest stadium construction in Chicagoland to date, with innovations in accessibility, sight lines and year-round amenities.

This week, Ozinga CEO Marty Ozinga goes on location to Northwestern to view and discuss the project with Pat Ryan, Jr. — co-CEO of Ryan Sports Development — and to examine what led to this extraordinary undertaking, as well as how Ozinga is assisting in re-imagining the spectator experience.
