FEATURED EVENT
Blue hen tailgate - SOLD OUT!
Saturday, November 14 | 1 p.m.
Before Delaware takes on FIU in the Homecoming football game, fellow Blue Hens will join for food, drinks and community under our tent by Delaware Stadium.
There will be lawn games, perfect spots for those social media pics, live music by Love Seed Mama Jump and more. An exclusive UD stadium blanket giveaway is included with registration, while supplies last.
While the Blue Hen Tailgate may be at capacity, there are still many other events happening throughout the weekend to explore!
