University of Illinois
Illinois Tailgate Experience
Gameday Details
Experience: We provide turnkey tailgate solutions for fans on gamedays – all you have to do is show up and have fun! We reserved the space, provide the tailgate equipment, handle the set-up and take-down, and are available on-site to help with anything else you may need.
Location: Tailgates will be set up in Lot 42 near the intersection of Kirby Avenue and 4th Street. Guests not parking in Lot 42 will have curbside drop-off services available to them.
Time: Tailgates open four (4) hours before kick-off and close at kick-off unless arrangements have been made to extend your tailgate.
Parking: Pre-paid and day of cash parking will be available in numerous locations near Lot 42. Details to be sent after booking.
Gameday Tickets: Please visit Illinois Athletics for gameday tickets.
Booking: Online reservations close the Wednesday before gameday, please call us at 888-301-2190 to check availability after that.
Additional Illinois Tailgate Services: Once you’ve booked your equipment package, a member from our team will reach out to discuss any catering and beverage needs.
