This year, Washington-area Fighting Illini fans will gather for every football game to cheer on a new coach and a new team! Bring your friends and make sure to wear your best ORANGE and BLUE!

The University of Illinois DC Alumni Club hosts game watches at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern is in the heart of downtown, just 3 blocks south of the Verizon Center on 7th St!  They've got good food, good drink, and a good atmosphere. Located at 639 Indiana Ave. NW (intersection with 7th St.), it is in the district and accessible to those living outside the district, as it is conveniently across the street from the Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter Metro Station (yellow & green lines) and just 3 blocks south of the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro Station (green, yellow, & red lines).
