Am I the only one who wishes the Big Ten championship game was played outdoors like all the other Big Ten games? I think a place like Soldier Field would be a great venue for it. Playing the championship indoors makes the Big Ten look soft like the SEC. Unfortunately the Big Ten has a contract with Lucas Oil Stadium through 2021 so it doesn't look like this will change anytime soon.
I would also prefer an earlier kickoff, say 4 or 5pm.
