Wow, this article is incredibly well sourced! I hate that my excitement to get a hometown WNBA franchise I can root for comes at the expense of such a powerful identity and tradition.

I know some news about Northwestern’s Band not performing pregame has been floating around but I’m relaying a post from their alumni about contacting their Athletics Department to press them to allow the band to perform at pregame
NUMBALUMS and Friends,

By this point, many of you have seen the article released by the Daily Northwestern this afternoon announcing that there will be no NUMB pregame show at Friday’s grand opening of the new Ryan Field. Athletics has made no commitment to bring it back for any game after that. 

Article: https://dailynorthwestern.com/2026/10/01/top-stories/numb-to-be-absent-from-ryan-field-on-field-opening-pregame-program-future-unclear/

The Chucks. Push On. Downfield. Block N. The tunnel. A 100-year tradition at risk, on the very weekend the stadium turns 100 in the 175th anniversary year of the University. 

Obviously, this news is incredibly upsetting. Dr. Parker and Dr. Taylor have been working diligently through official channels, but to no avail. 

Now it’s on us.We are asking every NUMBALUM and supporter of the band to channel your purple pride, P&G, and frustration into action. Let’s make sure that all future games at the New Ryan Field feature a NUMB pregame! 
Please email all three today:
Athletic Director Mark Jackson: athleticsdirector@northwestern.edu
President Chiang: nupresident@northwestern.edu
Savanna Wood, Athletics Director of Marketing: savanna.wood@northwestern.edu
Tell them your frustration. Tell them your disappointment. Tell them that your excitement about the new stadium has been tarnished by this upsetting news. 

Does this make you reconsider your season tickets? TELL THEM.
Does this make you reconsider future donations to the university? TELL THEM.
Does this make you reconsider if Northwestern is the future school for your kids? TELL THEM.
If you’re a parent, is this not what you signed up to pay tuition for? TELL THEM.
When you go to a college football game, do you expect to see a college marching band on the field for pregame and halftime? TELL THEM.
Does it suck, for no reason other than that we care about NUMB and this 100 year old tradition and this University with all of our bleeding purple hearts? TELL THEM.

(Of course, tell them firmly but respectfully)Our ask is simple: commit publicly to restoring on-field pregame at every home game at the new Ryan Field.

Let them know that NUMB pregame is more than a performance. It is a tradition that connects generations of Northwestern students, alumni, family and fans. It is what makes a Northwestern football Saturday (or Friday) feel like Northwestern.  Ask your friends to do the same. NUMBALUM or not, affiliated with the University or not, the more voices the better.
It’s time, band. Let’s let our P&G shine. Let’s save pregame.

Go ‘Cats!
The NUMBALUMS Board
