The Big Ten conference today announced the start time for the first week of games. Despite what many of us thought Purdue will avoid the dreaded noon kickoff. Instead Purdue will play at 3:30 PM.
First B1G game of 2020: @IlliniFootball at No. 16 @BadgerFootball.

It probably helped that Rutgers is in the conference so Purdue can avoid that noon kickoff.
While it will be a home game there will be no fans in the stands per the conference. The only exceptions are staff and family of players. However, you can buy yourself a fancy cutout of yourself to sit in the stands and watch the game. It’ll be just like being there!
Regardless of how you watch we are now less than two weeks away from kickoff. Buy snacks accordingly.
