There is an outside chance that I will be in Champaign this fall.  Date is somewhat flexible.  Which football weekend should I shoot for?  I'm looking for advice on several fronts--best game, best atmosphere, best events around town, and of course, best chance the stadium project will be complete.  Put all those together and tell me when I should come.

Last Illini game I saw live was the PSU game in '05.  Yes, the 63-10 game.  Can't believe I drove 12 hours and paid money to see that one!

Obviously the best game is Ohio State on Nov 15th. It could be a game of two highly ranked teams going for the Big 10 title...hopefully. As far as atmosphere and events, I haven't been there in a while, last game I saw was against Northern Illinois when they had Michael Turner, but you can always find something on Green Street. It might be a somewhat shorter drive for you to go to Detroit when they play Western Michigan at Ford Field. I'm going to try to get to that one since I live in Northeast Ohio. Good luck, hopefully whatever game you choose turns out better than the last one.

PSU or OSU, doesn't matter. I think the atmosphere for any game against a high end  opponent will be awesome. Illinois won best tailgating award this past year on the big ten network.  Our fans are great, and are happy to finally have a football season to look forward to. I am an electrician and am actually putting in the new power for the remodel. We should finally be finished in the next month. That SIDE (west side) of the stadium is going to be very NFL'esk. Elevators, suites, outdoor club level, just awesome. All in all, what ever game you decide to come to, i'm sure you won't be dissapointed. GO ILLINI!
