SIU Alumni Tailgate @ University of Illinois

Join the SIU Alumni Association and hundreds of your fellow alumni as we head to Champaign-Urbana for one of the most anticipated matchups in recent Saluki football history. SIU takes on the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday, September 19.

Before the kickoff, gather with us for an unforgettable alumni tailgate experience. With a large crowd expected for this historic showdown, the tailgate will be the premier place for SIU alumni, fans, and friends on the road.

The event will open at 10 a.m., featuring great food and opportunities to reconnect with other Salukis.

Tailgate ticket prices include food and a limited assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own beverages. Guests with dietary restrictions or special accommodations are encouraged to contact Cathie Mieldezis, the Association's director of constituent relations, in advance at cathiem@alumni.siu.edu.

The game start time is 1 p.m. Tickets will be on sale through the SIU Athletics Ticket Office this summer. SIU will announce as soon as they are available for purchase.

A special gathering for alumni and friends is also planned for Friday, September 18, in Champaign-Urbana, with additional details coming soon.
