Beginning this season, Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Illinois, will offer an all-inclusive model for suite owners and 77 Club ticket holders. This change eliminates additional charges for food and beverages on game days. The new amenity extends to new ticket purchasers as well, making Illinois one of the first collegiate venues to adopt this premium offering.

Memorial Stadium suites are situated on the West side across levels six and seven. These suites provide private hospitality spaces with comfortable seating and window controls designed for an optimal game day experience. The 77 Club is a climate-controlled area located on the sixth floor at the 50-yard line, paying tribute to Illinois legend Harold "Red" Grange. Both these premium seating options are available for sale on a seasonal or single-game basis.

This season, suite holders and 77 Club ticket members will have access to both floors featuring carving stations, custom bars, dessert carts, ice cream bars, buffet meals, and game day snacks.

Previously, fans were offered complimentary food and non-alcoholic beverages but had to purchase desserts or alcoholic beverage packages separately. This transition aims to create a more convenient experience for attendees.

For those interested in premium seating season tickets, Illinois Athletics encourages filling out a form or contacting their ticket office at illinitickets@illinois.edu.

The FamILLy First Fan Appreciation initiative reflects Illinois Athletics' commitment to enhancing fan experiences. It emphasizes gratitude towards loyal supporters who contribute significantly to the success of various sports teams at Illinois.
