Coming off a Camellia Bowl win and riding a three-game winning streak, momentum is building for the 2024 Northern Illinois University football season, and now is the time for new season ticket members to take advantage of exclusive benefits by making a $24 deposit toward 2024 NIU Football season tickets.

The most successful Football Bowl Subdivision program in Illinois this century, NIU finished the season by defeating Arkansas State, 21-19, in the Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama after placing second in the Mid-American Conference West Division with a team that featured just 13 seniors.

NIU opens the 2024 season on Saturday, August 31 at Huskie Stadium versus in-state foe Western Illinois before traveling to South Bend, Indiana to face Notre Dame for the first time in school history on Saturday, September 7.  The Huskies will also take on North Carolina State, led by former NIU head coach Dave Doeren, on Saturday, September 28 in Raleigh, N.C., and play host to Massachusetts on Saturday, October 7 in non-conference play. NIU will play six total home games in 2024 with the Mid-American Conference opponents set to be announced later this month.

In addition to taking advantage of the lowest prices, season ticket members enjoy multiple benefits, including earning priority points to purchase away game tickets, like the 2024 contests at Notre Dame and N.C. State, as well as invitations to exclusive season ticket member events featuring Huskie coaches and student-athletes. New season ticket members who submit a deposit prior to the 2024 season ticket on sale date of February 5, will also receive the special edition Camellia Bowl Champions poster that will be provided to all 2023 season ticket members.

By putting a deposit down now on 2024 season tickets, the already low price to see all six 2024 games can be paid all at once or over as many as nine months as part of the “Build Your Membership” Plan.

NIU 2023 football season ticket members will soon receive information by email regarding season ticket renewals for 2024.
