NORMAL, Ill. - Illinois State students and fans are encouraged to come out prior to the start of the Redbird soccer vs. Illinois game Sunday, August 19, for the first ever "Last Blast Before Class" event. Fans can partake in tailgating games, enjoy food and drinks, and listen to music provided by a live remote courtesy of the Illinois State student radio station, WZND.
The Last Blast will run from 11:45 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. at the North end of the G-82 parking lot adjacent to the Adelaide Street Field parking lot. The first 100 students in attendance will receive free food provided by DP Dough.
Directly following the event, Redbird soccer will take on in-state foe Illinois in the regular-season opener for the first time on Adelaide Street Field in eight years on Pack the Field Day. Red Alert members seated in the new student section, located behind the West goal, will receive points for their attendance.
In addition to Pack the Field, August 19 will also be Youth Team Day, where local youth soccer club teams will get the opportunity to participate in pre-game and in-game activities on and off the field.
