NIU Football and Men's Soccer
Posted On: 09/9/09
The 2009 home season opener for NIU Football is this Saturday (Sept. 12th) at 6:30 pm against Western Illinois. Let's fill up Huskie Stadium and
make it a sellout.
Tailgating begins whenever you want it to but officially begins in all the lots near Huskie Stadium five hours before gametime.
Put on your best face painting and NIU attire if you want to be on TV because the game will be on Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
NIU students can pick up their one free ticket at the Convocation Center or Holmes Student Center with their NIU OneCard.
If you want to bring a friend or family member NIU students can purchase up to four discounted tickets for $15 each at the Convocation Center ticket office
with their NIU OneCard.
Also, don't forget to show up and support the #22 ranked NIU Men's Soccer team at the NIU Soccer Complex. They are playing their first home games of the
season after tying #1 ranked UNC and defeating UNC-Greensboro. The NIU team has their first game on Friday against #21 Tulsa at 5 pm and their
second game on Sunday against Oakland at 2:30 pm.
Go Huskies!!!
2009 NIU Football Promotions
Posted On: 08/19/09
The 2009 football promotions schedule was announced recently and among them are:
"Fans attending the Huskies' home opener versus Western Illinois on Sept. 12 are encouraged to wear red or, even better, NIU Cardinal, while the
Thursday night home finale versus Ball State on Nov. 12 has been designated as the annual "Black Out" Night. Black T-shirts (5,000) will be
distributed to fans at the conclusion of the Nov. 5 contest versus Eastern Michigan with instructions to return a week later wearing the shirt.
Thunderstix, always a student favorite, will be available at three games - the season opener versus Western Illinois, the Oct. 3 Homecoming
contest versus Western Michigan and the Ball State game. NIU Rally Towels are the giveaway item for the Sept. 26 contest versus Idaho.
In addition, Northern Illinois will have bins of pom pons available for pick-up at all gates for every game. Fans can pick up a pom pon on
the way into the game, and return it following the contest for use at the next game."
Red Riot Registration for 2009-10 Season
Posted On: 07/07/09
All NIU students wishing to be a part of the Red Riot for the 2009-10 season must register by clicking the "Join" link to the
left. Students who were members of Red Riot last season (2008-09 season) must re-register so that we have your most current and up-to-date
information. We also do this so that we can keep a fresh member list, as many students graduate or leave NIU.
Red Riot membership is $5 and includes a t-shirt. If you would like a Red Riot shirt and a 2009 Football season parking pass (on the
East side of Huskie Stadium) then a fee of $65 will be assessed. Choose the appropriate option for t-shirt size and parking pass. The
parking pass is a good deal. It costs $10 to park anywhere on campus during football gamedays. So a $60 pass equates to $10 per home
game. The Red Riot parking pass is also right where all the students are and is the closest you will get to the stadium.
