Indiana football's Big Ten-opener Sept. 20 against Illinois at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington is now sold out, according to the program’s X post Thursday.
In Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti's first season at the helm in 2024, the Hoosiers' final four home games - all victories against Nebraska, Washington, Michigan and Purdue – were each sold out.
A limited quantity of tickets are still available for the season opener against Old Dominion University on Aug. 30 and homecoming against Michigan State on Oct. 18.
No matter the Hoosiers' opponent, Cignetti said in a press conference Wednesday that he expects Memorial Stadium to be sold out. He did, however, acknowledge Indiana's Sept. 12 matchup against Indiana State University may be more of a challenge.
"It gets a little tougher to get to the stadium for some people on a Friday night, but we create a lot of excitement around here, and I expect to have great crowds."
In the Big Ten preseason poll, the Fighting Illini ranked No. 4 while the Hoosiers checked in at No. 6.
Illinois, led by fifth-year head coach Bret Bielema, is coming off a 10-win season and retain starting quarterback Luke Altmeyer, who earned preseason All-Big Ten honors. Before facing off with the Hoosiers, the Fighting Illini will take on Western Illinois University, Duke University and Western Michigan University.
