Field & Pine is a private three-bedroom home, not a hotel room split three ways. Ten guests, three bedrooms, two full living rooms, and a private deck over open fields — close enough to Memorial Stadium that parking and traffic stop being the thing you plan your whole weekend around.

The Nebraska game is on a Friday night — plan for a Thursday or Friday arrival if you're coming from out of town. Dates from the official Illinois Athletics schedule; kickoff times are announced closer to each game.
Before & After the Game
Your own tailgate, without the lot
Grill out before kickoff instead of fighting for a parking-lot spot, then bring the whole group back to a real living room after the final whistle — not a hotel hallway. The game room downstairs (arcade cabinets, Pop-A-Shot, darts) keeps the night going if the group isn't ready to call it.
- Weber gas grill and a private deck
- Two living rooms with smart TVs for watching other games
- Parking on-site — no hunting for a spot blocks from the stadium
Frequently asked
What's the best Airbnb for Illinois football weekends?
For a traveling group, look for a private home close to Memorial Stadium with real sleeping capacity rather than a small apartment. Field & Pine sleeps 10 across three bedrooms and two living rooms, sits about a mile from the stadium, and has a yard and private deck for tailgating before and after the game.
How close is Field & Pine to Memorial Stadium?
About 1.1 miles — a few minutes by car, and close enough to walk on game day if you'd rather skip parking near the stadium entirely.
How far in advance should I book for football season?
As soon as your travel dates are set. Big home games, especially Homecoming and rivalry weekends, routinely book out Champaign lodging months ahead. Checking availability early costs nothing and locks in your dates.
Where do we park on game day?
Parking is free, right on the property — no paying for stadium lots. Exact parking directions come with your check-in details once you book.
