Once again, the College of Agriculture and the Ag Alumni Association invite you and your family and friends to join us at our reunion tent on Memorial Mall for wonderful food and fellowship before Purdue’s Homecoming game. Many schools and departments will have displays and tents around the Engineering Mall, and various entertainment will be featured on the main stage. For an up to date schedule, check out www.purdue.edu/homecoming.
Department Tailgates
As in recent years, these departments will have their own tailgate tents. The tents will be located on Memorial Mall, across from the Ag Administration Building, convenient to free parking in the Marsteller Garage as well as to the other events and activities, and an easy walk to the stadium.
All tailgate tents will feature a brunch buffet meal catered by Shoup’s of Frankfort, including their famous roasted pork. Buffet lines will be open for two hours, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., so you’ll need to plan to arrive early to enjoy the food and the fun. All tents and entertainment will close at 11:00 a.m. to allow you time to get to the stadium before the 12:00 kick-off. We have a limited number of football tickets available, but you have to get your order in by the deadline to get in our seating block. See the
registration form for more information.
All alumni and friends of Purdue are welcome at any of the tailgate events.

College of Agriculture Tailgate Tent
If your department is not having a tailgate, register for the College of Ag tailgate tent, and see exhibits from other departments and visit with faculty and staff. Everyone is welcome to stop by the College of Ag tent to enter drawings for great Purdue prizes, including a Danny Hope autographed football. You don’t have to be present to win, and we’ll mail all prizes so you don’t have to carry them around.
