Illini football seeks full house

Only one school in the Big Ten has a cheaper-priced season ticket. Purdue sells 7,000 seats for $98. It is the first year for the $98 seats, which Purdue ticket officials think will be gone in a hurry.

Illinois continues to push season tickets in the main grandstands. A year ago, the school sold 35,000 season tickets overall. Heggemeyer hopes to see a bump in the number for 2012.

Four years ago, the school was at 46,000 season tickets.
