Eastern Illinois University Athletics

EASTERN ILLINOIS STUDENTS are admitted free to any home EIU athletic event.  You must show your valid student EIU Panther Card to gain access to any EIU event.  Panther Card's are checked for ticketed home events for football, men's and women's basketball.   All other EIU home athletic events are not ticketed.

Students may purchase football tickets for friends and family at the online link below, in-person at the EIU Ticket Office in Lantz Arena (Monday to Friday, 9 am to 11:30 am), or by phone at 217-581-2106.

Student tailgate parking is in the Grass Lot just west of the Stadium between the West Stadium Lot and Facilities.  Additional student tailgate parking is in the grass southwest of the stadium.  Enter both via the grounds entrance off Grant Avenue.
