I'll be there, with 3 friends of the enemy.

I got two sets of 4
223 Row 4
228 Row 4

I bought the first set early and overpaid so those are for sale if anyone needs tickets let me know. I'd rather sell them to Marquette fans.
Bought another set to mitigate the overspend.

Can't wait, should be a great game and an awesome time

I am planning to go. Tix in 215, at least at the moment.

I will also  probably have a couple extra.

Section 217.

Wouldn't you know, it happened to work out that my son's college visit to U of I is on Nov 15.
Hope he is not turned off by all of the dejected students he sees on campus that day.

Dejected? Losing is nothing new for them - should be fine.

This is how to block the opposing school from pooping in your front yard.

QuoteA parking structure is located immediately behind the venue; be sure to enter on Healey Street; street parking is also available. Legends is approximately a 25-minute walk to State Farm Arena.

Headed to the game with my brother who's an Illinois alum.

I got my JD from U of I, so am an alum of both. But the Warriors rule!
Though the Illinois/Arizona Elite Eight matchup in 2005 certainly ranks as one of the top games I have personally attended.

anyone know where I could get lower level tix for somewhat reasonable. Seems like all third partys are crazy right now

I'd wait until closer to game day. They will continue to go down. If you can wait to day of game, they really go down from my experience.

Anyone doing the MU pregame thing at Legends?  Going elsewhere?
Title: Re: Illinois Roll Call

I will probably be there.
Maybe I will put my screen name in my name tag.

We signed up for the MU pregame
Title: Re: Illinois Roll Call
Post by: Warriors4ever on November 06, 2023, 12:22:52 PM
I'll be signing up.
Are people planning to walk from there? I'd rather leave my car there I think.

I haven't decided yet...I am leaning toward walking as long as the weather is nice.
Title: Re: Illinois Roll Call
Post by: TallTitan34 on November 12, 2023, 05:23:03 PM
Also signed up for the pregame.  Haven't decided if I want to try parking at the arena or by Legends.
Title: Re: Illinois Roll Call
Post by: Warriors4ever on November 12, 2023, 08:35:46 PM
Signed up as well. I'd like to walk if other people are also doing so.
I had season tickets with the law school bloc when I was there. I think I've only been back to whatever they are now calling the old Assembly Hall once since then.
My law fraternity would sponsor brown bag lunch speakers, and Lou Henson would walk over before the season started for a preview, he couldn't have been nicer.

Still have an extra set of 4 for section 228 row 4 if any Marquette fans are interested.

The more the merrier.

Sounds like a typical Illini fan. They last time we beat they we were considered a bottom feeder Big East team by their fans.

Looking forward to going to the game tomorrow with my wife and parents!

Post by: Warriors4ever on November 15, 2023, 04:12:20 PM
Thank you MUbb. The walk was ok, we left a few minutes later than I would have preferred, but plenty of other people  on the walk back, and we stopped for a celebratory drink. I was pointing out places I remembered from my law school days.
I stopped earlier to visit the law school - if we do this again in the future I would just leave my car street-parked there..

Fun! If you/any scoopers will be in Madison for the game in December would love to meet up. I LOVE attending away games, and being around other passionate MU fans make the experience so much better.
