Online ticket sales are now closed. You can still purchase tickets on Saturday at the Alumni Welcome Tent. Please bring cash. Tickets are $5 apiece and include access to tent and football game.
Schedule
- The tailgate is from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm. The game begins at 1 pm.
- We have had a very positive response to the tailgate this year and anticipate C Lot will be packed. We recommend arriving early if you plan to set up a tailgate.
- The road in front of C Lot closes early for the parade. Plan to get to the tailgate by 11:30 am to avoid getting stopped by the parade.
- When you arrive, you will park in C Lot and then come check in at the Alumni Welcome Tent where you will receive a wristband. The wristband is also your ticket to the football game.
Tailgating, Food & Drinks
- The Alumni Welcome Tent will have a few cocktail tables, chips, snack mix and a bar where you will receive one complimentary beverage of your choice. Additional beverages will be available for purchase.
- Set up a tailgate in C Lot! Bring lawn chairs, grills, food, drinks, coolers, games, etc. and set up in the Alumni Village.
- For those who don't bring their own food, the Cheese Trap Food Truck will be available during the tailgate starting at 11:30 am. 10% of the proceeds from the truck will go to the Real Men Wear Pink Fundraising Campaign held by the American Cancer Society & championed by Associate Provost Josh Ode.
