The Illinois State football game against Youngstown State, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, has been rescheduled to a Noon CT kickoff on October 18. The change comes in response to anticipated bad weather in the Bloomington-Normal area.
Despite the new start time, the game will still be broadcast live on Marquee Sports Network and streamed on ESPN+ at Noon. The pregame radio show on AM 1230 WJBC, 102.1 FM, and 98.9 FM WJEZ is set to begin at 11 a.m., with John Fitzgerald and Ted Schmitz providing commentary.
Parking lots around Hancock Stadium will open at 7 a.m., and public gates will now open at 11 a.m. Aaron Leetch Club ticket holders can access the club area starting at 10:30 a.m.
Fans are encouraged to monitor GoRedbirds.com and Illinois State Athletics social media for further updates about pregame events near Hancock Stadium. All Homecoming activities planned for 2025 are expected to proceed as scheduled.
