The countdown to the Illini’s Final Four showdown is underway, and while the game is still a few days away, fans in Indianapolis have a host of exciting activities to enjoy leading up to the big event.
On Friday, supporters of the Fighting Illini can catch their team in action during a practice session at Lucas Oil Stadium. Doors to the stadium will open at 10 a.m., with the Illini hitting the court an hour later. This event is complimentary and open to all. More details can be found here.
The festivities continue with the men’s Final Four Fan Fest, launching on Friday at the Indiana Convention Center. From noon until 6 p.m., attendees can dive into interactive games, secure autographs, and maybe even bump into some celebrities and athletes. Tickets are complimentary for those holding 2026 men’s Final Four Game tickets, Capital One cardholders, children aged 12 or younger, military personnel (both active and retired), and college students. Others can join the fun for a ticket price of $15.
