Illinois Announces Move to All-Inclusive Football Suites and 77 Club Tickets

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Beginning this season, current Memorial Stadium suite owners and 77 Club ticket holders will see no additional charges for food and beverage on gameday with a move to an all-inclusive model. The upgraded amenity will also be available for any new fans purchasing tickets in those areas. Illinois will be one of the first collegiate venues to offer this type of all-inclusive premium amenity to its fans.

Memorial Stadium suites are located on the West side on levels 6 and 7 and offer individual hospitality space, comfortable seating, and window controls for the ideal gameday experience. The 77 Club, which pays homage to Illinois great Harold “Red” Grange, is a climate-controlled club space that sits on a 50-yard line on the sixth floor. Both spaces are available for sale on a season and single-game basis.

This season, suite holders and 77 Club tickets will have access to both floors which will feature carving stations on each level, three custom bars, dessert carts and ice cream bars, buffet meals, as well as gameday snacks.

Previously fans were given complimentary food and non-alcoholic beverage gameday menus but were required to purchase any additional food items like desserts or add-ons, as well as any alcoholic beverage packages. The change was made to provide fans with a more hassle-free gameday experience.

Fans interested in becoming a season ticket holder in premium seating areas should complete this form or contact the Illinois Athletics Ticket Office at illinitickets@illinois.edu.
