University of Illinois Hosts University of Washington at Soldier Field in 2013

Jan. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Concierge Preferred wants to let Fighting Illini fans know that they won’t have to travel all the way down to Champaign-Urbana to watch the University of Illinois football (http://www.fightingillini.com/sports/m-footbl/sched/ill-m-footbl-sched.html) team take on the University of Washington Huskies on September 14, 2013. While the Fighting Illini usually take on opponents at Memorial Stadium on the University of Illinois flagship campus in Champaign-Urbana, this game against the Huskies will take place right in downtown Chicago at the city’s historic Soldier Field.

The legendary home of the Chicago Bears since 1971, located right on scenic lake Michigan, will play host for this spectacular college matchup. The professional football stadium has capacity for nearly 1000 more fans than Memorial Stadium in Champaign, but even with more seating tickets to this game will surely sell out fast.

This is the second time that Illinois will play at the Chicago Bears’ home field. The first game against Washington State took place nearly twenty years ago on September 1, 1994. Although the Washington State Cougars prevailed then, Illinois will surely do its best to ensure a victory the second time around.

Football fans and game promoters alike recognize this massive Soldier Field event as a great opportunity for Illini fans in the Chicagoland area to attend this exciting Illinois game against the formidable PAC-12 member, University of Washington. College football players can feel what it’s like to play on an historic, professional football field, while visiting fans can take advantage of all that is available for them to see and do in one of Midwest’s most amazing cities.

Tickets are not yet available for the game, and will become available at a later date.
