[December 15, 2007]
CHAMPAIGN -- Coach Ron Zook and
the Fighting Illini football team will appear at a Fighting Illini
pep rally at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 30 at Universal Studios CityWalk.
The Marching Illini and Illini cheer squad will also perform at the
pep rally. The first 3,500 people will be allowed entry into the pep
rally area.

 Admission to the pep rally is free of charge and does not include
access to Universal Studios Hollywood. Fighting Illini fans are
encouraged to save their Universal Studios Hollywood visit for the
next day, Dec. 31, when Illini Bash takes place throughout the park.
"The number of public and media appearances that are pre-scheduled
for Coach and the team made it nearly impossible to find a slot for
this event," said Chris Hanna, assistant director of athletics. "The
fact that Coach Zook created a window for this free event with the
team prior to the Rose Bowl shows his amazing commitment to Illinois
fans."
Special $72.50 tickets to the Dec. 31 Illini Bash event, which
will be inside the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, are now
on sale. That event includes all rides in the park, a special Illini
parade and access to a special Illini Bash room. The event runs from
9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Dec. 31. Fans must buy special tickets for the
Illini Bash in advance through Ticketswest.com or by calling
1-800-325-SEAT anytime, 24 hours a day. Tickets may not be purchased
on the day of the event.
