The University of Illinois Athletic Ticket Office will sell a limited number of remaining "Red Zone" Horseshoe season tickets for the 2008 season, beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, May 5. Only a few hundred remain and are expected to sell quickly. Customers have the opportunity to purchase a maximum of four season tickets per account.

The "Red Zone" Horseshoe ticket price of $77 was set to honor Harold "Red" Grange, the legendary Fighting Illini running back who ranks among the greatest players in college football history.

Season ticket orders for all areas are currently being accepted and can be placed online at fightingillini.com, by calling 1-866-ILLINI-1 or by visiting the Athletic Ticket Office at the Assembly Hall.

The Illini open the 2008 home season with a contest vs. in-state foe Eastern Illinois on Sept. 6.
