CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - The University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics announced fan experience upgrades for Illinois baseball home games at Illinois Field in 2023.
There are a number of recurring promotions that fans can enjoy all season long; Bark in the Park, Food Truck Fridays and Craft Beer Saturdays.
Every Tuesday at Illinois Field, bring your furry friend for Bark in the Park. Stop by the marketing table before the game as all pet owners must sign a waiver, which is valid for the whole season.
Food Truck Friday will feature a variety of local food trucks that will be offering enhanced food options for fans to enjoy all season long.
Craft Beer Saturdays will feature beers from local breweries that will be available.
Food truck and craft beer vendor schedules will be posted on FightingIllini.com and on Twitter at @IlliniBaseball.
There will be a kid's zone available all season long for Saturday and Sunday contests, beginning on April 1 vs. Michigan. The kids zone will feature inflatables and special kids only giveaways. All kid's zone participants will have access to special post-game experiences, including running the bases on Big Ten Sundays.
Illinois Field also features a brand-new premier tailgating space in right field, the Party Patio. Please e-mail jkreind@illinois.edu for more details or to reserve this space.
