The New York Yankees' iconic ballpark is all set for Wednesday's football showdown between Northwestern and Pittsburgh.
The sides are squaring off at Yankee Stadium after accepting invites earlier this month to participate in the Pinstripe Bowl, and fans won't be disappointed with the change in aesthetics at the traditionally baseball stadium:

The annual showdown is organized by the Yankees organization with the winning side being awarded the George M. Steinbrenner Trophy, named in honor of the franchise's former owner.
Duke won the event last year, defeating Indiana 44-41 in overtime.
