With Club 53 seats, fans can take advantage of courtside seating for Fighting Illini games and experience the action unlike ever before. The renovated State Farm Center features seats hugging the sideline of the court and allows you to experience sights and sounds of the game available only to courtside seating. Seat holders also have exclusive access to Club 53. This lounge is located on the floor level, behind the scenes from the bowl, and is a favorite for courtside seatholders to gather before and after the game and during breaks in the action. The club area is near the tunnel entrances to the floor, giving patrons the opportunity to watch the Fighting Illini as they prepare to run onto the court.
