Perhaps, but their home stadium only seats 10,000 and they didn't sell
it out last week, attendance was 9111.

Last year the Illinois State game drew 25,471 and the Central Michigan
Game drew 30,075.  But that game was on Sep 25th, after the students
were back.  I'm sticking with my 25K prediction.
