UIS Basketball is Back at TRAC

The balls are bouncing in The Recreation and Athletics Center (TRAC) as the Prairie Stars have tipped off another exciting basketball season! You share a campus with a championship-level program — and now is your chance to enjoy the games, the atmosphere, and the perks that come with it. We have home games tomorrow (women at 3 p.m. against St. Francis; men at 5 p.m. against Cedarville). The home GLVC season starts Monday, December 1! 

Staff Members Always Get a Free Ticket

UIS faculty and staff receive free admission to every regular-season home game — just show your UIS ID at the ticket gate and you’re in.

Bring Your Friends – Faculty & Staff Appreciation Night

  • Thursday, December 4
  • Up to four free tickets when you reserve online

We’ll host rival McKendree in an early-season GLVC doubleheader — a matchup that goes back to our NAIA roots. It’s the perfect night to cheer with colleagues, family, or friends and show your Prairie Star pride!

Want the Best Seat in the House?

Sit in the chairback section with season tickets – 19 nights of basketball for just $100 per seat (faculty/staff members can purchase up to four seats at the discount). That’s 10 GLVC doubleheaders + 9 non-conference games – a courtside steal!
