Illinois football along with International Student and Scholar Services will host Football 101 on Wednesday at Memorial Stadium.

Starting at 6 p.m., the event is open to both international and domestic students who would like to learn more about American football.

Broken into three segments, Football 101 will start by showing videos to teach the basics of the game. It will continue as students move onto the field to participate in different drills. It will conclude with members of Block I and Illinois cheerleaders teaching students different cheers for Illinois football.

Football 101 will feature free pizza and t-shirts while supplies last.

A University press release also said students will have the opportunity to purchase ticket deals for the Illinois-Purdue game on Oct. 4. A special promotional code will be given to everyone who attends Football 101 and will allow students to purchase 10 dollar tickets.  

For questions, students can contact Karl Feak at 217-244-2797.
