Come tailgate with Northwestern State Alumni Saturday, Sept. 16 from 3-6 pm to kick off the first home game against Lamar University. This tailgate, located at the Collins Family Pavillion, is themed “Backyard BBQ.” Live Music will be provided by the Justin Merritt Band, a local favorite. The Spirit of Northwestern Band will also be hosting Band Alumni Weekend at the tailgate.
Food includes hamburgers, hot dogs, wings, sausage, chips and drinks. Tailgating begins at 3 pm and ends at Game Time.
Just like last year, there will be a selfie booth, vendors, jumps and obstacles for the kids, the NSU Bookstore, and lawn games! There will also be a Presidential Tailgate and Faculty and Staff Tailgate this year…the more the merrier!
