Dear Illini Nation,
The First Place Cubs are leading the majors in hitting and scoring and we are going bring our group to see them on Tuesday, May 20th, at 6:40 PM at LoanDepot Park in Miami.
Deadline: May 16.
Game Tickets: Secure your seat with fellow alumni for just $24 per ticket:
Parking: Parking is available for $15 per car this year:
Note: Currently, the parking page references "ticket" and "seat," but rest assured, it should say "Parking Pass."
Stay tuned for updates on our pre-game gathering spot. We can't wait to see you there!
Go Illini!
