Bret Bielema mentioned a possible special ticket offer for Illinois fans to take advantage of for this week’s game vs. Iowa.

Illinois is competing for a B1G West Championship and a win over Iowa will go a long way in the divisional standings. Bielema wanted to use a full stadium to his team’s advantage. This announcement came after Bielema encouraged all Illinois fans to bring as many people as possible to the game.
For this week’s game, he wants a sold out Memorial Stadium:
“I would really encourage people if you haven’t bought a ticket yet, bring a friend, bring a buddy, bring a bus,” Bielema said earlier in the week.
This ticket offer will likely enable people to bring their friends to the game for a reasonable price. With a win over Wisconsin, Illinois is flying high into this home game. Illinois is undefeated at home in 2022 and is looking to remain undefeated.
Iowa enters this meeting with an 8-game winning streak over Illinois. The last win over Iowa came in 2008. Illinois will host Iowa on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
