"The Breakfast Club" Movie at 30-- Part 3: The Fist-Pump Football Field

The iconic last shot of the movie with Judd Nelson walking across a football field and pumps his fist in triumph.  Where was this field?

Online speculation puts it at Maine South H.S. in Park Ridge to Maine West in Des Plaines to Glenbrook North.  Of course this last place is such a strong contender that its students occasionally strike a Nelson fist pump in the approximate spot on the field (with the press box just to his right arm).

But the truth of the matter is that the field was at the now closed Maine North High School in Des Plaines, where the rest of the film was shot.
