CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- As part of the FamILLy First campaign, Illinois will offer yard signs for fans to show off they are members of the Illini FamILLy. Fans are asked to display the FamILLy signs in their front yard and write in the year they became members of the Illini FamILLy, which could be the first time they attended a game, the first time they knew they loved Illinois, the day they were born, or whenever they became an Illini fan for life. 

Fans can first pick up the FamILLy First yard signs at the Spring Game on Thursday, April 20 at Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m. CT. The signs will continue to be given away at any Spring Sports Fest event, which features 13 Fighting Illini sporting events during the April 20-23 weekend. 

If signs remain after the weekend, pick up will be available at the Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building during open business hours from 9 a.m-5 p.m. CT.

FamILLy First Campaign
With momentum coming off of Illinois' best season in 15 years riding into spring practices starting this week, Illinois is building towards one of its most exciting season-long atmospheres at Memorial Stadium in 2023. New season ticket holders will enjoy a number of benefits as part of the FamILLy First campaign, most notably an average reduction of ticket prices by 17 percent across the stadium. FamILLy First season ticket holder benefits also include game day deals on concessions and merchandise from Gameday Spirit, savings on golf rounds at the Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois, and discounts on Memorial Stadium seat backs for those that renew before April 21. 

As of March 21, already over 5,300 new season tickets had been purchased. Illinois' 5,000+ new season tickets sold were already more than any of the previous 15 seasons and the most since the 2008 season, which followed the Illini's 2008 Rose Bowl Game appearance. Current Illinois season ticket holders still have until April 21 to renew their tickets for the 2023 season.
