Immediately
prior to the Bowl game there will be an "Official" pregame Illini activity at the Reliant Center - adjacent to the Reliant Stadium, which requires a separate RSVP and payment via

Hour begins. During Happy Hour, which is over at 7 PM, you can purchase a
3-ticket package for $22 $17 (increased price

appealing you can purchase wine or food instead from their traditional menu.
