How snow may impact Illinois’ game vs. Northwestern

It’s going to snow across the midwest on Saturday, and we may get snow football in Champaign.

A winter storm warning is in effect Saturday in Champaign County, and WCIA-TV is forecasting anywhere from 4 to 9 inches for the region.

Illinois on Friday said it is monitoring the weather, but as of now, parking lots, tailgating and stadium entrances will all be open for Saturday night’s game.

Here’s what officials said about specific lots:

While all grass parking lots will remain open, fans assigned to grass lots 31, 42, 45, and 47 are advised to park in paved lots 33 or 49. All season parking passes will be honored in lots 33 and 49 on Saturday. All parking lots will open at 7 a.m. CT (Parking Map).

DIA said there will NOT be an Illini Walk, however, before the game.

Senior Day kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on FOX.
