Stadium Renovation

For those of you who have not received this email from the University please read.

University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium is about to undergo a major renovation, which will enable this football team to reach greater heights. This renovation will maintain the integrity of the stadium's history, while also providing new premium seating and an improved game atmosphere. The success of this project is vital to the growth of the Illini Football program.
