(Redirected from Chicago Illini football)

Between 1950 through 1964, UICC was known as University of Illinois Chicago Undergraduate Division located at Navy Pier, and competed as a junior college.[2] Known as the Chicago Illini during their years competing at Navy Pier, with the move to their new campus, the athletic teams were inspired by the Chickasaw and renamed Chikas.[3][A 2] UICC played its home games at multiple stadiums throughout their history with the most recent being Soldier Field. The Chikas program was dropped by the University at the conclusion of their 1973 season.[5]

In their fourth season under head coach George Strnad, UICC compiled a 5–3–1 record.

For the 1967 season, the Chikas played their four home games at four different facilities: Winnemac Park, Gately Stadium, Soldier Field, and Hanson Park.[18] As UICC did not have an on-campus facility, playing in four stadiums across Chicago was viewed as a means to grow the profile of the fledgling program[18] Their 5–3–1 record for the season marked the first and only winning season for the Chikas as a four-year school.
