CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – For the fourth-straight season, the Fighting Illini volleyball will be hosting its popular promotional event, IlliNOISE Night, on Friday, October 6 in a BTN-televised match against No. 18 Purdue at 7 p.m. CT in Huff Hall.
It has been said by coaches, opponents, fans and media members alike that Huff Hall has the loudest volleyball atmosphere in the country, and later this week the Fighting Illini plan to prove it. The Marketing & Promotions Staff will take a decibel meter reading during the match to put a number to just how loud Huff Hall truly is.
Head coach Chris Tamas and the Fighting Illini invite Illinois fans from far and wide to attend the Purdue match to experience Huff Hall at its finest. Touted "the best student section in the nation," by Big Ten Network announcer Mike Wolf, the Spike Squad will be out in full force. Ear plugs will be available free of charge at all entrances for any fans with sensitive hearing when the Illini Faithful establish the mark of Huff Hall's noise level.
