Filming Location for Breakfast Club, The

The Football Field

2300 Shermer Road, Northbrook, Illinois, USA

At the end of the movie with Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simply Minds playing in the background we see Judd Nelson walking across the football field and punching the air. Must be one hell of a walk home as that football field is about 7 miles from the school where the detention was! Glenbrook North High School is not only home to the football field, but also the array of locker shots used at the beginning of the movie.
