For the first time in at least two decades, Illinois Football sold out of public season tickets.

In a news release Wednesday, the team said it sold more than 34,000 public season tickets ahead of the 2025 season.

Officials said the final season ticket total is expected to exceed 43,000.

All of this coming on a day when Illinois added two big-time in-state recruits to its 2026 class.

This is getting exciting...
