Illinois Fighting Illini Tickets

In recent years the Illinois football program has been on the verge of breaking into the top tier of the Big Ten Conference, and last season was no different as the Fighting Illini put together a respectable 7-6 record with a 4-4 conference mark. They ended the season with a victory over Baylor in the Texas Bowl, and head coach Ron Zook will try to use that bowl win as a launching pad to bigger and better things this season. Last year was filled with ups and downs for Illinois, as they put up a good fight against #2 ranked Ohio State and then went into Happy Valley and crushed Penn State by a score of 33-13. But then they lost a heartbreaker in the Big House when they fell by a score of 67-65 in triple overtime to Michigan. That loss apparently stung a bit, because Illinois lost again at home the next week to an overmatched Minnesota team. With another year of experience, the Illinois football roster should be stronger and more consistent, so check them out with Illinois Fighting Illini football tickets from GoTickets.

The Illini will play in the Leaders Division of the revamped Big Ten Conference, which now has 12 teams with the addition of the Nebraska Cornhuskers this season. Illinois won’t have to face the Huskers this year, but the Illinois football schedule includes home games against both the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines. The other visitors to Memorial Stadium in Champaign this season include Arizona State, Northwestern, Arkansas State, South Dakota State and Western Michigan. GoTickets has Illinois football tickets for every game on the schedule.

Memorial Stadium might not be the biggest or most expensive stadium in the Big Ten, but it can be a tough place for opposing teams. The current capacity of the stadium is about 60,000, and it has actually been reduced a bit in recent years to make room for some new luxury suites. That means Illinois football tickets can be hard to find, so make sure to get yours at GoTickets.
