[QUOTE="Konnie, post: 1412946, member: 12980"] I am an Illini fan that has season football tickets and goes to the Chicago game. I went Saturday and it was a great atmosphere, the game was competitive, the fans were into the game and although the outcome was disappointing it was a fun time. How many of the fans in attendance do you thing thought Illinois would be in a position to win with a minute and thirty seconds left to play? Assuming each customer bought 4 tickets to the game, Illinois has a lot of useful information about 5,000 Illini fans from the Chicagoland area that the IFUND and the ticket department can market to. From my understanding the demographics of central Illinois are changing. Consequently, the future Illinois fan base has to come from the suburbs of Chicago. The DIA has a tough decision whether to continue the Chicago game. How about this: make the Chicago football and basketball games part of the season ticket package? Good idea or silly? One more comment: I think that we rabid Chicagoland Illinois fans bear some of the burden to bring alumni back to the games. I asked all my alumni friends if they wanted to go to the game and some said yes so I bought 7 extra tickets. These 7 alumni would not have gone to the game if I had not asked them! I think everyone has to help. [/QUOTE]
