The University of Illinois has launched a Memorial Stadium Brick Program as part of the stadium's 100th-anniversary celebrations. This initiative allows Fighting Illini fans to purchase personalized bricks at Grange Grove, offering them a chance to leave a lasting mark on the stadium.

Fans can choose between two brick sizes: a 4x8 for $250 or an 8x8 for $350. Additionally, an 8x8 brick with a Block I logo is available for $500. Purchasers will receive a complimentary keepsake replica and an official program plaque. Bricks ordered before July 15 will be installed in August, ahead of the anniversary season.

Proceeds from the brick sales will support activities planned for the year-long celebration of Memorial Stadium. Season tickets for the upcoming season are now available, starting at $100 to honor the centennial and offer affordable access to fans.

The Orange and Blue Spring Game is scheduled for this Saturday at Memorial Stadium, providing Illini fans their first glimpse of the 2024 team. The game is free and open to the public, beginning at 1 p.m. CT, with Grange Grove and tailgating lots accessible from 7 a.m. CT.
