Come tailgate with us and celebrate the Homecoming festivities. This tailgate’s theme is Throwback to the 90’s, which is the overall Homecoming Theme! Live Music will be provided by 92twenty, from Alexandria.
We will be serving hamburgers, hot dogs, brisket, sausage, chips and drinks. Tailgating begins at 2:00 PM and ends at Game Time.
Just like last year, we’ll have a selfie booth, vendors, jumps and obstacles for the kids, the NSU Bookstore, and lawn games! We’ll also be joined this year by the Presidential Tailgate and Faculty and Staff Tailgate…the more the merrier!
Cost to attend is just $10.00 and includes all you can eat food and beverages. All tailgates are FREE for members of the Alumni Association. Not a member yet? Sign up today by visiting nsulaalumnijoinnow.eventbrite.com. Feel free to pay now or at the event.
