CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Zook Zone towel sales have climbed on a daily basis leading up to the Sept. 6 Illinois Renaissance Celebration against Eastern Illinois, but fans are encouraged to purchase their towels for $7 prior to the game. On the day of the game, towels will be on sale for $8 at the Gameday Spirit merchandise stands to help offset the cost of setting up the merchandise stands at games.

The Zook Zone towel is designed to help build energy and create a great home-field advantage at Memorial Stadium during the 2008 season. These towels will remain on sale throughout the season. Towels can be found at both Gameday Spirit locations in Champaign for $7, with $1 from every towel going to help fight cancer through the Coaches vs. Cancer program.
