Farm Aid - Keep America Growing!
The Memorial Stadium is a football stadium in Champaign, Illinois, in the United States,
on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The stadium is a memorial to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign students who died in World War I;
their names are engraved on the nearly 200 pillars surrounding the stadium's façade.
FARM AID started as a benefit concert held September 22, 1985, in Champaign, Illinois, to raise money for family farmers in the United States. The concert was organized by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young, spurred on by Bob Dylan's comments at Live Aid earlier in that year that he hoped some of the money would help American farmers in danger of losing their farms through mortgage debt.
