The Huskies’ six-game home schedule kicks off Sept. 12 as Northern
Illinois takes on Western Illinois in an intrastate battle beginning at
6:30 p.m. (Central). Two weeks later, NIU will play the 1,000th
intercollegiate contest in school history when Idaho visits Huskie
Stadium on Sept. 26 with kickoff at 2:30 p.m.
Northern Illinois will welcome alums back to campus on Oct. 3 with a
2:30 p.m. Homecoming game versus MAC West foe Western Michigan to
celebrate the 103rd Homecoming in school history. The Oct. 31 league
game versus Akron will mark the first meeting between the teams since
the 2005 MAC Championship game and will be televised throughout the
country by ESPN Plus beginning at 11 a.m. That game will also mark Hall
of Fame Weekend as that annual celebration will have its own designated
game in 2009. Complete information on the Hall of Fame events as well
as the 2009 inductees will be announced in the coming weeks.
NIU’s November home games will be played on back-to-back Thursdays as
the Huskies will play host to Eastern Michigan on Nov. 5 while defending
MAC West champion Ball State visits DeKalb Nov. 12. The Eastern
Michigan game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. while kickoff time for the BSU
contest is to be determined depending on television considerations. One
or both of those games may be chosen for national broadcast on ESPNU.

While single game tickets are available beginning Wednesday, full
season tickets, as well as the three-game mini-plan, provide the best
value options and are still available for purchase. With either the six
game or three-game season ticket option, fans are guaranteed the same

ticket is priced at $90, with a $12 discount for NIU Faculty and Staff,
