Fighting Illini Football hosts Purdue for its 108th Homecoming game at 2:30 p.m. this Saturday at Memorial Stadium. All fans are encouraged to come early, be loud, and WEAR ORANGE.

GRANGE GROVE

Now in its fifth season, Grange Grove is THE destination for pregame activities at Memorial Stadium. New items for 2018 include the Former Letterwinner Autograph Tent, Gameday Genomics for kids and Jarling's Custard Cup.

Grange Grove opens for tailgating at 7 a.m., and will feature all the pregame traditions of Illini Walk and the Marching Illini drumline with the family fun of tailgating, the Family Fun Zone and live musical entertainment, beginning three hours before kickoff each game day.  The tailgating area outside of the West entrances of Memorial Stadium is free and open to the public, so no ticket is required for admittance.

Fans are encouraged to line the brick path through Grange Grove to catch a performance from the Marching Illini Drumline at 12:15 p.m. before the Fighting Illini Walk as the team enters the stadium. This week's live music will be provided by Too White Crew starting at 12:45 p.m.
