Scanner frequencies for NCAA Big Ten Football games
Major sporting events such as NCAA Big Ten football games drawn thousands of fans to town for each home game. These games provide great scanning opportunities as there is a wide variety of radio usage related to the games including stadium operations, parking, police, fire/ems, EOC, towing, shuttle buses, media, etc. This page serves to display the local trunked systems and frequencies where these game related operations occur on one single page.
This page is by no means complete and local listeners are encouraged to add or correct any of the information presented here. The University of Illinois information is complete but the rest is simply what could be ascertained by viewing the Radioreference.com forums, the Radioreference.com database, and other scanning websites. Some information is just a suggested list of scanner targets until more accurate radio usage can be determined.

Iowa
Police use TG 1968 on the Iowa City Motorola TRS which is cross-linked to 154.920 (source: Scaniowa Yahoo!Group). The old University of Iowa police channel 453.975 may or may not still be used on game days. The University of Iowa is licensed for many 453 MHz frequencies so a quick search through them may find some game related activity.
Michigan
University of Michigan Stadium LTR TRS
Michigan State
- Police uses the TRI MUT TG 03-061 while fire/ems uses TRI TAC1 TG 03-062 (source: Radioreference.com forums)
Athletics Department: '"`UNIQ--freqsubcat-00000000-QINU`"'
It wouldn't hurt to monitor the Michigan State University 800 MHz Motorola Type II TRS. Special event parking is listed in the Radioreference database as being on 462.600 (162.2), {which interestingly is a GRMS frequency}.

http://www.radioreference.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48537&highlight=football Sorry, I should have been more specific - 4 pct only operates on 4E during home football nights and other special occasions (e.g. Heritage Fest).
