Good to know

Before you head out

Wristband

Your re-entry pass

Get a wristband at the Home Gate. It lets you leave after the parade and come back in before kickoff without buying another ticket.

Shirts

Free for ticket holders

Everyone who bought a reunion ticket gets a shirt. We'll hand them out in the stands after the parade, or you can pick yours up Saturday at the reunion.

Food

Food trucks inside

Food trucks will be set up inside the stadium if you get hungry.

Bags

Clear bag policy

The stadium has a clear bag policy, so leave the purse or backpack in the car and bring a clear bag instead.

Game tickets

Everyone needs a game ticket

Parade walkers included. Game tickets are separate from reunion tickets and are sold through GoFan. Buy ahead so you can walk right in.

Dress, Pricing, T-Shirts Details

Update ★ September 14 A few things before the 26th Final pricing, a headcount deadline, how refunds work, class shirts, and what to wear. Everything else, including how to pay, is still on the main reunion page . Prices are final $100 for grads, $75 for guests. The drink package is still $15 for two drinks. We moved into the last pricing window on September 5, so this is where it stays through the door on Saturday. Unless this is news to you The tiers were there to reward buying early, not to punish anybody the word never reached, and it clearly did not reach everybody.
