Nobody knows how to throw down on homecoming better than UW Oshkosh. This year, the Titans are celebrating the 100th year anniversary of homecoming at UWO. You may be wondering, what can I expect at this year’s homecoming?! Well, one thing I can guarantee is that this homecoming will be like no other. I mean come on, this is number 100! This is the perfect time to invite the family over to get to be a part of the ultimate Titan experience. Here are some fun events you and your parents can enjoy during this historic homecoming season.
Who goes to a football game without Tailgating? Sounds absurd doesn’t it? You’re in luck because Reeve Union is hosting the titan tailgate from 11 am-1pm. Concerned about finding good parking for Homecoming? Buses will be providing transportation at Noon from Reeve to the Titan Stadium. Reeve will also have food, drinks, and plenty of fun activities available for FREE. This is a great opportunity to see the University at work creating a fun day for everyone!
It’s time to Titan Up! Titan Stadium is about to be packed with both action and fans. Two of UWO’s powerhouse teams are playing on the big stage. This will be a great time for you and your family to rep that gold and black.
