Need to Know

Watch out for
Southern Illinois’s facility description identifies permanent concessions, heated restrooms and a video board added in 2024. Its general parking page displays football and basketball plans, so confirm baseball parking, bags, water, medical needs, payment and return rules directly. The old Abe Martin panoramic photograph predates the rebuilt stadium and is separate from current seating. The added signed-entry photograph and existing labeled fan collection supply orientation, without numbered camera seats or an exact capture date. Current October 2026 action galleries also include player-focused images that do not establish full seating sightlines.
