DeKalb, Illinois - Northern Illinois football fans can now experience Huskie football in a completely new way while enjoying the comforts of the Jeffrey and Kimberly Yordon Center at each of NIU's six home games this season. The Huskie Athletic Scholarship Fund is now taking reservations for the Yordon Center VIP Terrace Parties for the 2008 football campaign.

 

Fans will enjoy special seating and the tremendous view of Brigham Field from the Dacy or Nahas Terrace for just $1,500 per game. Each terrace accommodates up to 20 guests and the price includes food and beverages, served in the adjacent climate-controlled Roberts Atrium of the Yordon Center, premium parking, and a pre-game visit with new Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics Jeff Compher.

 

With limited availability and anticipated high demand, please call NIU Director of Development, Ryan Schoop, at 815-753-1823 or e-mail him at rschoop@niu.edu to reserve your terrace or for any questions.

 

All proceeds will directly benefit NIU's 467 student-athletes through the HASF.

 

Northern Illinois' first home game is September 20, 2008 as the Huskies welcome Indiana State to Huskie Stadium for a 2 p.m. kick-off. The Huskies open the season on August 30 against Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minn.
