Calling all Ball State alumni, fans, and friends, join us as we celebrate 100 years of Homecoming and “Chirping Through the Decades” before the Cardinals take on Sacramento State!
Step into a century of Cardinal tradition at CharlieTown, our ultimate Homecoming pregame celebration outside the Alumni Center beginning two and a half hours before kickoff. Enjoy great food, live entertainment, drinks, and unforgettable game day energy while reconnecting with fellow Cardinals from every era. Come hungry, show off your Cardinal pride, and celebrate 100 years of Homecoming memories with us!
Two hours and fifteen minutes before kickoff, line Cardinal Drive to help welcome the football team and coaches as they make their walk to the stadium. Bring the noise and cheer the Cardinals on as game day excitement fills campus!
Then, one hour before kickoff, join the Ball State Cheerleaders, Code Red Dance Team, the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, Charlie Cardinal, and special guests for a spirited pep rally before heading into Scheumann Stadium for kickoff.
