“We are incredibly thankful to NIU, the Huskie Athletic Department, and the DeKalb community for welcoming back the IHSA Football State Finals on short notice,” IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson said in a statement.
The IHSA stated in a news release that all tickets previously purchased through the Illinois State ticket office for the Class 7A and Class 8A games will be honored in DeKalb, and that additional details about ticketing are expected to be announced on Monday.
Earlier Friday, Illinois State announced its campus will be closed Saturday due to a storm warning that includes the Bloomington-Normal area. So the IHSA was forced to postpone the Saturday slate.
“The safety of student-athletes, coaches, officials and spectators remains our highest priority,” the IHSA stated in a news release.
The 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A games on Friday were played as scheduled.
