🏈 HOMECOMING TAILGATE 2026 IS GETTING A NEW LOOK!
We’re switching things up this year to create better flow, less pathway congestion, improved safety AND even more fun! 🎉
Here’s what you can expect at the Homecoming Tailgate on Friday, September 25!
☕ REVE Coffee is moving!
We’re giving our coffee crew a new spot to make it easier for everyone to get their caffeine fix. Because Homecoming + coffee = ☕💜
🍔 A NEW FOOD LINE SETUP!
We’re changing the food line location to improve traffic flow, reduce blocked pathways and make it easier (and safer!) for everyone to grab some delicious food from Hy-Vee.
🎨 ISD 88 FOUNDATION TENT
Stop by and say hi! We’ll have:
✨ FREE goodies
✨ Temporary tattoos
✨ Face painting
✨ And YES… the purple & white dots are coming back! 💜🤍
🎭 NEW ULM AREA FINE ARTS BOOSTER

🏃 NEW ULM ATHLETICS BOOSTER CLUB

⛺ GSM TENT
