EVANSTON, Ill. - The football game between Northwestern and Michigan, scheduled for this Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Central at Ryan Field, is a sellout. The announcement was made this morning by the Northwestern athletic ticket office.

This will be the first sellout at Ryan Field since the 1998 season, when the Wildcats sold out consecutive games against Michigan and Ohio State on October 17 and 24. It also marks the 11th official sellout since the stadium was built, and the sixth since the renovation put capacity at 47,130.

Saturday's game between the Wildcats and the Wolverines will be broadcast live to a national audience by ABC.
