Media Day Photo Gallery | Training Camp Central

The Illinois football team hosted local and national media outlets at Memorial Stadium on Sunday. Head coach Lovie Smith talked with the media for 24 minutes before the team took individual and group photos and players talked to the media. The team followed media day with an autograph session on the field and a movie night for Illini fans.

The Fighting Illini open 2017 Training Camp on Monday, July 31. Most practices will be held on the Campus Recreation Fields bordered by Florida Ave. and Goodwin Ave. in Urbana (MAP), just blocks from Memorial Stadium. All Training Camp practices are open to the public and free to attend from July 31-Aug. 19. 

Fans are encouraged to come watch coach Lovie Smith and the Illini as they prepare for the 2017 season and stay for post-practice autographs with the team.
