Calling all Ball State alumni, fans, and friends, kick off game day with fellow Cardinals before we take on Stony Brook! Join us outside the Alumni Center two hours before kickoff for CharlieTown, the ultimate pregame tailgate experience packed with great food, live entertainment, drinks, and plenty of Cardinal spirit.
Two hours and fifteen minutes before kickoff, help us welcome the football team by lining Cardinal Drive as players and coaches make their walk from the parking lot to the stadium. Bring the energy and cheer the Cardinals on as they head into Scheumann Stadium!
Then, one hour before kickoff, keep the momentum going at our pregame pep rally featuring the Ball State Cheerleaders, Code Red Dance Team, the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, Charlie Cardinal, and special guests before heading into the stadium for kickoff.
