MACOMB, IL -- Western Illinois University alumni and friends are invited to a special alumni social Monday, May 19 in conjunction with the Chicago Rush's "WIU Night. The Rush, featuring Western graduate Russ Michna, will take on the Los Angeles Avengers beginning at 7 p.m. in Allstate Arena in Rosemont (IL).
The WIU alumni social, hosted by Western's Alumni Programs, will begin with a tailgating event at 4 p.m. Tickets for the tailgate (which includes food; bring your own beverages) are $5 per person. Discounted game tickets for students, alumni and friends for "WIU Night" are $20 (upper sideline); $15 (upper corner); and $8 (upper endzone).
The tailgating area is located on the west side of the arena, and opens three hours prior to kickoff of each Rush home game. Parking in the tailgate area is limited to the first 50 cars with grills. Those fans traveling with multiple cars are asked to park their cars without grills in the main parking lot and then join the rest of the group in the tailgate area. In the event the tailgate area is full, the arena will open an auxiliary area in another location in the parking lot.
