[QUOTE="1970 John, post: 1209247, member: 589602"] [b]Away games?[/b] I'd love to go to some games at Memorial Stadium, what with all my fellow Illini in the stands, Block I :illinois:, the Marching Illini:clappy: and Chief Illiniwek:chief: 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? [/QUOTE]
