I'd love to go to some games at Memorial Stadium, what with all my fellow Illini in the stands, Block I , the Marching Illini:clappy: and Chief Illiniwek at halftime to go with all the football. Alas, it's a 12 hour drive which makes it hard to fit into a weekend.
So there are away games, and this year I'm going to Rutgers. (I could have gone to PSU for football last year, and glad I didn't...). It would be fun to go to sit with My Own Kind. It helps with the eventual brawls to have someone watching your back. To that end, I contacted the U of I ticket office because the nice folks at Rutgers told me that the university gets a block of tickets. Here's the response I received:
"We are given an allotment of tickets from away games. Typically those are only sold to our current IFUND members and season ticket holders. We have not gone on sale with them at this time. If you would like to contact us in June or July, we can see what we can do to help you out. Typically we don’t get very good seats and you can purchase better seats through the home school. We don’t have prices or any further details at this time."
That said, shouldn't some savvy Champaign/Urbana travel agent put together packages including a purchase of a block of seats we can color orange?
Several digs dug on that sand, and many 3's cashed on that court. I do really like the front on view of Memorial Stadium.Limited time offer! #Illini

I would think that for the Rutgers game, considering the size of the New York metro area, there would be a lot of Illini willing to come, especially for what promises to be a rout...and a lot of good tickets available. I'm in PA and will take the relatively short trip, closer than Chicago to Champaign.Hope we can get to that point. With our history over the last 30 years, we have trouble doing that at home let alone that far away. Hopefully that starts to change now.

Maybe the NYC Illini Club will put something together for that game

Are you a member of the NYC alumni club?I am going to the game

I take it you're in Manhattan?No but I know the Illini bar in midtown, They should pick a better one. Went to the game against Nova at MSG last year after visiting there. couldn't justify going to NJ to watch Illini basketball this year
The NYC club always buys a block of tickets, arranges transportation, and tailgates for games at Penn State. I'm 100% certain they will do the same for Rutgers. You should reach out now so they can set aside some tickets.
I had looked at Philly before. I had never thought about NYC.
Alas, no more football at Happy Valley (especially now that we have a chance to make it Less Than Happy Valley).
So Rutgers it shall be. I signed up for the NY Illini Alumni Association this morning.
Basically, yes. Fourteen teams in the conference--13 "other' teams--so with only nine conference games, something's got to give. In this case, it's Penn State.Sorry mainly follow Basketball but, why no more games with PS??? because of the division??
Btw, it's no leak. They don't schedule game times until 2-3 weeks before the games.
LB Hardy Nickerson will graduate transfer from Cal to play for his father at Illinois
