When I first arrived on campus as a freshman in the fall of 2019, I was unsure of many things: I didn’t know how to find my way around, I knew only a few other people who were in the same college as I was and I didn’t really know much about the different athletic facilities.

The last issue may be the least serious, but as a lifelong sports junkie, this was a pressing problem in dire need of being solved. After little guidance and information about the sports department prior to attending Illinois, I realize now how little information there is about attending non-revenue sports — all sports that are not football or basketball.

Here is a list of the athletics facilities used by all 19 Illinois Division I sports, all of which can be attended by students.

Note: COVID-19 restrictions and reduced capacity may be in place in the fall. Find updated information on the Fighting Illini Athletics website, fightingillini.com.
