I guess the heat could be a factor, but I am glad that we don't have a night game at Duke. They have had their moments over the years in night games. But a sleepy noon kickoff is probably perfect for us to get in and out of there taking care of business.

Don’t love though a 10 am on the body clock for our guys. But I guess it’s not great no matter what.

Personally, if you are worried about a 1 hour time difference for the teams playing in any game, you shouldn't be playing those games, I don't care what hour of the day it's played. I doubt there has EVER been a player worried about any start time, or time difference in the history of the NCAA. That's the coaching staff's problem to worry about. They better have their players ready !!!

Have you ever watched a 11 AM Illinois basketball game?

We just bought our flights for the Duke game. With the gametime announced at noon eastern, how hot/sunny will it be on the visitor side? Section 1 is where the visitor tickets are, so just down from where you sat.

It will be very hot. We will be facing into the sun the entire game. Nice little stadium tho. You can park for free near in a couple of remote lots near the hospital and the shuttle bus will take you into the quad. From there a nice little walk thru the dorms to the stadium. After the game the shuttle busses will take you back. Very well organized.

I sat in section 7 last year for the Duke/UNC game. Mostly Tar Heel fans. The visiting UNC band was in sections 1 and 2. Between the band and section 7 was solid Tar Heel fans.

I went with Section 7 for the upcoming game, which should be the Illini sideline if this chart is right.

VERY happy about WIU, and WMU start times! No middle of the day direct sun for the early season games, yet not 8:00pm either.

Fighter, I appreciate your hot take that the WMU game will be sold out if we are 2-0. I would not have predicted that, but would love to see it!

It's certainly optimistic! However, our attendance has just consistently gotten better every year since 2021, and we have gone from crowds in the mid-30k range to the mid-50k range. We sold out twice last year for the first time in almost a decade, and we only drew below 50k once - our Thursday night opener vs. Eastern Illinois. I think with good weather, a shiny ranking, a 2-0 record that features an impressive road win at Duke AND a Saturday night start time for WMU?? We will at least be pushing REALLY close. We drew over 51k for an 11:00 am start vs. Central Michigan for the same weekend spot last year ... I think the success since then and growing hype is going to have us easily above 55k for most games, and at that point you are so close to within striking distance of a sellout!
