Additionally, the Big Ten Conference is debuting the first-ever Student-Athlete Family Celebration on Saturday, Dec. 4.

The event will feature food, beverages, and entertainment.
“The 2021 Big Ten Football Championship Game is the culmination of an exceptional season of Big Ten football for all of our 14 member institutions and is a testament to the hard work, tenacity, and dedication of everyone associated with the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan,” said Big Ten Conference Commissioner Kevin Warren. “We are committed to delivering an extraordinary experience for our student-athletes who will take the field tomorrow, as well as their families, and our fans.”
“We are elated to have two extraordinary teams and the vibrant colors, music, energy, and passion of Big Ten football fans here in Indianapolis for the 2021 Big Ten Football Championship Game,” said Lucas Oil Stadium Director Eric Neuburger. “This event will be the second-largest crowd that Lucas Oil Stadium has ever had for a football game, just behind Super Bowl XLVI.”
