The NSU Alumni Association hosts a tailgate party at home football games. Our tailgates take place at the Collins Family Pavilion, located in the heart of the tailgating area at NSU. The tailgate features clean restrooms, food and drinks, music, and lawn games.
Alumni Association Members get a $10 discount on tailgate tickets.
You can also sponsor a tailgate. We have three different sponsorship packages available.
Whether you’re an NSU alumnus, an Alumni Association member, NSU faculty/staff, an NSU Student, or just a fan of NSU, we’re happy to have you! Everyone is welcome!
