Anyone here making the trip? Looks like the weather will be decent and hopefully it will be a fun game.
I’m coming down from Chicago as long as the weather looks good that day. Went 2 years ago and recommend it. Should be easy to get good seats for no more than $20.
Deer gun opener so wife is gone (she hunts, I do not) so will not be making this trip. Maybe in two years!
Did you tailgate before the game? Is there a bar scene close to the stadium as well?
Everything I've heard about Champaign is that it is not a fun, big time football atmosphere. It's more a techie town, a lot of foreign grad students who don't care about football, computer science and STEM undergrads who don't care about football, etc. Obviously having a mainly losing program would also affect that. And being only 1.5-2hrs from Chicago, that is the place people go for fun, rather than staying in town.
Hope that those who go down have a great time and let me know if I'm wrong here.
FYI for anyone looking for accommodations- I just canceled two rooms at the Motel 6 in Urbana. Call them up if you're interested.
Hopefully Mohamed Ibrahim, Antonio Shenault, OJ Smith, and ZA.
Do injured players not get to travel to road Big Ten games? That's lame, if true (if that was what you were getting at). Weird thing to be cheap a__ about, when spending eight figures on football per year.

What section or part of the stadium is the visiting fan section?
