Homecoming
We hope you’ll be #BackInTheBurg for Homecoming from Friday, October 23 through Saturday, October 24!
Alumni Event Schedule
Friday, October 23
Young Alumni Eagle Crawl
4 – 8 p.m.
Eat, Drink, and Be Mary Wash with your fellow recent grads at the Young Alumni Eagle Crawl! We’ll start with the kickoff from 4 – 6 p.m. at the Jepson Alumni Executive Center. Then take the trolley downtown and crawl from 6 – 8 p.m. (or however long you’d like), enjoying food and drink specials at your favorite spots. Cost is $25/person; this includes a souvenir shot glass, food and two drinks at the kickoff, the trolley, and access to specials downtown. A non-drinking/designated driver ticket also is available. Don’t wait to register–There are only 100 spots on the Crawl, and it sells out every year! Also, please note that while Eagle Crawl is geared toward young alumni (those within 10 years of graduation), alumni of all ages are welcome to attend!
Saturday, October 24
Pregame Brunch
10 a.m. – Noon
Held just across the street from the Battleground, the Pregame Brunch is a fun fuel-up before the tailgate. Enjoy a heavy brunch buffet–including chicken and waffles, breakfast quesadillas, and fruit–while you socialize and play lawn games. Included with brunch is our famous bottomless bloody Mary bar–with a toppings station so you can load up the bacon, celery, and olives. Don’t like bloody Marys? Enjoy bottomless mimosas instead! Pregame attendees also get two beer tickets to use in the Alumni Beer Garden. Cost to attend is $20/person.
Athletics Tailgate
10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The Athletics Tailgate at the Battleground comprises the entire tailgate area and access to all sporting events. The Tailgate includes our designated alumni area, the Alumni Beer Garden (details below). Cost is $20/person. Note: If you already have a tailgate wristband that came with the purchase of an actual tailgate space, that is your Tailgate Ticket–you do not need to purchase one.
Alumni Beer Garden
Noon – 5 p.m.
Cheer on your Eagles from alumni-only tables and seating at the end of the tailgate area, fronting the soccer field. We’ll have hot pizza and alumni giveaways, plus cold beer and cider and non-alcoholic beverages. Pregame ticketholders get two free beer tickets for the Alumni Beer Garden. Additional beer tickets will be available for purchase, and you can get a free one by giving us your up-to-date email address. Admission is free (included with Tailgate Ticket).
