Tailgating and Game Day Information
Tailgate
The unofficial sport of Homecoming. Before the first whistle blows, the real party kicks off in the parking lot. Fire up the grill, bring your lawn chairs, rep your maroon, and join fellow Salukis in a sea of spirit, music, and mouthwatering game day vibes. Whether you're a student, alum, or lifelong fan, tailgating at Saluki Stadium is where memories (and maybe a few burgers) are made.
