Illinois Premium Events at Memorial Stadium Overview
If you are looking to make an everlasting impression on your guests with your reception location, consider holding your next event at historical Memorial Stadium. Memorial Stadium is not only home to the Fighting Illini football team, but also to exquisite event space overlooking Zuppke Field. The Colonnades Club is located on the third level of the stadium’s west side and stretches end zone to end zone. The vaulted ceilings and access to the WWI Memorial Columns make this expansive space absolutely magical, a perfect locale for sit-down dinner receptions. Guests can enjoy cocktails and appetizers while you, and your wedding party, access the stadium for formal portraits. Following cocktail hour reunite with your guests in The Colonnades to enjoy your first meal together as a married couple. After dinner, dance the night away on the solid oak dance floor. Enjoy a day that is fun, unique, and all your own. The facilities manager will be happy to help you plan all the details of your special day.Venue Notes
