My uncle's move is to park at Hessel Park and walk over to the stadium (after a couple oat sodas).I got my son and I tickets today. Is it the closer to the field, harder to see over players? Close to a sale out!
My daughter and I park on Lincoln St. It’s a decent walk, but never had a problem finding a spot.I got my son and I tickets today. Is it the closer to the field, harder to see over players? Close to a sale out!

Hope you're right. But under any circumstances, the Illini better not take them too lightly.

I keep hearing people ask how Illinois will adjust from being the hunter to the hunted.
Who says we're done hunting?
From Werner’s article today:
- Angelo Grose: The junior safety is a three-year starter who is third on the team in tackles (53) and second on the team in pass breakups (four).
- Zion Young: The freshman defensive end has played a significant rotational role for Michigan State on the edge during the last four games and has 21 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack this season.
- Tank Brown: The redshirt sophomore linebacker and Minnesota transfer isn’t a regular in the rotation. He has played in six games this season and has one tackle.
- Khary Crump: The redshirt sophomore cornerback and Arizona transfer isn’t a regular in the rotation. He has played in four games and has one tackle and one pass breakup.
Is there a list of events that will take place pre-game Saturday? Like player walk-thru, etc...
I thought we should redshirt him a few games back. We could use him against Purdue and Michigan, yes, but I think it's in Josh's best interest, at this point, to sit him out. It's not the same, but I remember Curbello coming back waaaaay too early, and I don't want to see it end the same way. I'm happy to see the coaching staff doing the right thing here. McCray probably wants to get out there SOOO badly.
Also - are fans supposed to wear a certain color?
I’d recommend avoiding green but encourage wearing orange.

I was just thinking it is surprising that they have not had a "stripe-out" announced for either Michigan State or Purdue. I don't love (or hate) that gimmick, but it still surprises me, lol.

The schedule of events including the Illini Walk is typically released on Thursday.
Wait. You guys buy clothes that aren't orange???
I’m of the opinion that every game should be an “Orange Out” without the advertising and branding. Orange is our color and as fans we should proudly rock it every game.
I always park in the lot on the Northwest corner of Springfield and Goodwin. It's a long walk to the Stadium but you can take a nostalgic walk from the north end of campus to the stadium.

Knock on wood and all, but this team just does not seem like the type to let up. Even with a #14 next to our name, I think they will have a chip on their shoulder vs. every single opponent, including MSU.
This is a season-long coming out party to let the world know that we are legit, and given our schedule, there are still plenty of people to convince! I definitely don’t think we’re done hunting.
Coach B mentioned in today's presser that he feels good about McCray and thinks he will be ready by the weekend. He also said he thinks Marchese and Reiman should be ready to go. I don't remember seeing anything happen to Tip during the game, but he must have gotten dinged up.
