    Enjoy a traditional pre-game BBQ with your dad and fellow Fighting Illini fans! The annual BBQ will start at 12:30pm this year and food will not be served after the opening kickoff. Traditional BBQ food will be served so think sandwich plates with several sides. The menu has not yet been finalized but a vegetarian option will be available.

    You can purchase any/all event tickets here!
    $65 includes BBQ and a football ticket
    $23 BBQ Ticket only
    $45 for football ticket only

    Game Day parking is very restricted and many roads around ARC will be closed. Parking on Friday or Sunday around Union is free in most University lots (read parking signs). Visit the UIUC parking website to obtain more info and see the parking maps. You can also park at Campus Center Public Parking Deck for affordable parking right in the heart of campus town.
