PRIOR EVENTS, 2010


The Houston Illini Club is delighted to congratulate the Fighting Illini for their overwhelming victory against Baylor in the Texas Bowl!

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 http://www.illinoissportstravel.com/. Alternatively, your Texas Bowl ticket provides you pre-game access to the TexFest in the parking lot of the Reliant Stadium, which is a Texas-sized party before the game featuring a live performance by popular Texas country artist Roger Creager on the Bud Light Stage. Regardless of which option you choose be sure to wear orange and blue to help you more easily congregate and socialize with other Illini alumni and fans.
