Who is going to the Illinois game this weekend?
I am heading to the game with a group of my friends. Does anyone have any advice on lodging and bars for Champaign? Should be a great time and I expect an O-H-I-O cheer around Memorial stadium.

You might want to get lodging just as you cross the border (which is Lynch Rd) into Illinios on I-74. There are a number of motels there inlcuding one that has Off The Track Betting. You will be around 30 minutes from the game site. I do believe that the motel that has the Off The Track Betting has a number of Buckeye Fans that stay there.

I'll be there. I go to the Illinois game every year with a group of friends, some Illinois fans and some OSU fans. It is always the highlight of the year for me. It is great to get out of town for a long weekend and have fun with some good frineds. We have our hotels reserved but I am not sure where. Our Illinois brethren made the arrangements for us.
In 2002 we stayed at the Chancellor which apparently has been torn down.

I'll be there. It's the only game that I've been able to get tickets for.
Go Bucks!

If Champaign hotels are full you can also try Rantoul. From I-74 it is about 15 minutes. I think that if you have to stay in Rantoul you should be able to leave your hotel room and be in a tailgate lot in 25 minutes to 30 minutes. Pretty easy drive also from Rantoul, once you get on Highway 45 you will have to make only one turn to get to the stadium and lots. Ummm, Go Illini.
