Last season's Field Trip Day event set multiple Fighting Illini women's basketball records. With a crowd of 11,563 in the building, the game set the Field Trip Day attendance record and ranked as the fourth-best crowd in program history. The 103-33 victory over Saint Peter's featured the largest attendance in State Farm Center since the 1999-2000 campaign and marked the 17th time in program history that Illinois women's basketball reached the century mark.

"Between the success of last year's team and the unforgettable atmosphere at the 2023 Field Trip Day game, head coach Shauna Green and her squad continue to take everything to the next level and can't wait to see what this year's game brings."
