Champaign, Ill. - Birthday parties are back at women's basketball games. After two successful seasons of offering fans a chance to have their party at Illinois women's basketball games, the Illini will again sponsor courtside parties in 2004-05.

The birthday party package includes eight game tickets, eight hot dogs, eight small sodas, eight popcorns, eight orange and blue pom pons, eight programs, a personalized birthday cake, and birthday card autographed by the Illini team, and the birthday boy/girl's name on the scoreboard. The birthday honoree and their guests will sit on the floor for the game. Cost for the party is $120 for Kids Club Members ($10 each additional guest) and $135 for Non-Kids Club Members ($13 each additional guest).
