One Tailgate. All Alumni. One Bobcat Family.

Join us for the inaugural OHIO Homecoming Alumni Tailgate, a new tradition bringing alumni from every college, every generation, and every corner of the country together before kickoff. Whether you're making the trip back to Athens or you never left, this is your chance to reconnect, celebrate, and be part of something new.

Expect an atmosphere filled with Bobcat pride, great food and drinks, music, and the excitement that only Homecoming can bring. University leadership, faculty, staff, and alumni will all gather to celebrate the people, traditions, and memories that connect us all.

Reconnect with old friends, make new connections, represent your college, and soak in the Homecoming spirit before the Bobcats take on Central Michigan. Help us launch a new tradition that brings the entire OHIO community together year after year.

Stop By and Say Hello
Catch up with representatives from across OHIO, learn what's new, and reconnect with the college or program that helped shape your Bobcat experience.
