How will the renovation project impact my current seats?
With the addition of the press box/hospitality facility, the outdoor club seats, wider aisles, and increased accessible seating, the renovated Memorial Stadium will have a slightly reduced overall seating capacity and a completely new seating manifest. Every section in Memorial Stadium will benefit from these changes. Realizing that fans have emotional attachments to their seats, athletic department officials are currently reviewing plans used at other schools and are considering options to address every fan’s concerns equally and fairly. A future announcement will explain in great detail the steps that will be taken to ensure that every Illinois supporter has the opportunity to equally benefit from the beauty and convenience of the renovated Memorial Stadium.
