CHAMPAIGN — You won't be able to get a beer (that's coming in August), buy a hot dog or listen to the band.
But you will be able to watch college football today. Always a good thing.
On a busy weekend in C-U, coach Lovie Smith decided he wanted Illinois football to be part of the fun.
Ahead of the team's actual spring game on April 13, the Illini have an open practice at Memorial Stadium. Doors on the East side of the building open at 2 p.m. with the practice running from 2:30 to 4.
