On Saturday, Nov. 1, the Tent Party begins two hours prior to kick-off of the Illinois vs Iowa football game in the lawn west of Memorial Stadium. In the past, the Marching Illini have stopped by our tent for a surprise performance, belting out some of their old favorites. Be sure to stop by and say "GO ILLINI!"
