@ Illinois State 2021 Tickets

Thanks for the info; It will be our first time in that area. Any recommendations/suggestions on where to eat?

We are planning to make some type family fun weekend out of it. There is a small waterpark north of Bloomington/Normal about 1 hour that we will drive by coming from Wisconsin. We plan to stay there Friday night so my boys can have some fun and then we will drive down to the game (which is great that it is a 2pm kickoff) Saturday morning.

Depending on what direction you are coming from and heading home, there isn't much for awhile after Bloomington/Normal, so you may want to look up some places ahead of time.

Your last statement can be misinterpreted and may not apply to all.

We have never really tailgated there. Between bad weather and lack of spaces we just went and ate somewhere. The last few times we have eaten breakfast at a Greek Pancake house. It’s up the road from the stadium. It ain’t pretty but the service and food is great. Dinner is downtown. There is a place with a sign that says “ burritos as big as your head”. They are not.

Perhaps I should have posted a picture of the sign.
But it wouldn’t help, because Bisonville…

We are getting tickets and we need to buy parking passes in advance. Does anyone know which lot we tailgate?

Good luck with that!

It is homecoming, and the whole scene is pretty much a shit show. I plan on walking from my hotel.

If they are selling reserved spots, I would recommend NW of the stadium.

Agree with Road. Take whatever you can get.
