Calling all Ball State Alumni, fans and friends: celebrate your Cardinal pride before our Homecoming football game against Akron!

There will be food, fun, entertainment, and camaraderie two hours before kickoff outside the Alumni Center. Each CharlieTown tailgate will feature local food trucks and drink vendors. Stop by and support local businesses!

Two hours before kickoff, at the start of CharlieTown, you’re invited to line up along Cardinal Drive to cheer on the football team and coaches as they walk down Cardinal Drive from the parking lot to the stadium.

One hour before kickoff, join the Ball State Cheer Team, Code Red Dancers, Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, Charlie Cardinal, and special guests Ball State President Geoffrey S. Mearns, Director of Athletics Jeff Mitchell, and President of the Alumni Council for a pep rally before heading into the stadium.

Kickoff time is TBD
