Calling all Ball State Alumni, fans and friends: celebrate your Cardinal pride before our home football game against the Toledo Rockets!
There will be food, fun, entertainment, and camaraderie two and half hours before kickoff outside the Alumni Center. Each CharlieTown Tailgate will feature local food trucks and drink vendors.
Two hours and fifteen minutes before kickoff, 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 Cheerleaders, Code Red Dance Team, the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, Charlie Cardinal, and special guests for a pep rally before heading into the stadium.
