Redbird Football FCS Semifinal Watch Party Locations

NORMAL, Ill. – For the second week in a row, the Illinois State football team will fly across the country, this time to the East Coast for a FCS playoff semifinal contest against top-seeded New Hampshire on Saturday, Dec. 20.  Fans not able to make the trip will have the opportunity to gather with fellow Redbird fans at one of many official watch party locations announced Wednesday, to watch the Redbirds take on the Wildcats on ESPNU at 1 p.m. CT.

The fifth-seeded Redbirds (12-1, 7-1 MVFC) advanced to the semifinals for the second time in school history after defeating Eastern Washington, 59-46, last Saturday on the road in Cheney, Washington.  With the win, the Redbirds became one of four teams vying for the FCS national championship this weekend, with North Dakota State and Sam Houston State squaring off on Friday night in the other semifinal matchup.

Fans are encouraged to send photos from the watch parties to @ISURedbirds via Twitter, with an opportunity to win prizes for those who show the most Redbird spirit. 

Here is a complete list of locations to watch the Redbirds take on the Wildcats in the FCS semifinals:
