Free tickets to Illinois v. Nebraska for faculty and staff
August 24, 2021 1:02 PM

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to start the fall semester this week and welcome everyone back to this new year at Illinois. Your dedication and effort throughout the last 18 months has been critical in helping maximize the safety of everyone in our community and in allowing us to offer the kind of in-person experiences so many of our students have missed. Thank you for your hard work and commitment.

In order to show our appreciation to faculty and staff in helping us come so far together, we have worked with the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics to offer all faculty and staff members two complimentary tickets to this weekend’s season opening football game against Nebraska.

This is one of the first college football games in the nation and will be the first game with fans allowed in Memorial Stadium since 2019. The game is Saturday, Aug. 28, at noon.

Tickets are limited and will be offered on a first come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Tickets may ONLY be claimed online here. Each faculty and staff member who clicks on the link will be able to order two tickets. The tickets are intended for personal use only and will only be distributed digitally through your provided email account. There will be no physical tickets issued. Tickets may be claimed online through 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 27, unless demand exceeds supply prior to that point.

Welcome back to the new year and I hope you will come out on Saturday to Memorial Stadium.

Sincerely,

Robert J. Jones,
Chancellor
