Crimson Huddle

The largest indoor tailgate of the year, and you're invited!    

You're invited to join us at the Alumni and Friends Crimson Huddle. Held at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex right after the parade, it's super convenient to attend the parade, the huddle, and the game.  Enjoy a full buffet of tailgate favorites, live music, an exclusive pregame performance by the IUP Marching Band, an appearance by the IUP Cheerleaders, and fun giveaways. The IUP Student Ambassadors will host fun activities for children, and our mascot, Norm, will make an appearance!

Preregistration is encouraged for fast-track access to the huddle on game day and automatically registers you for an exclusive giveaway. Cost to attend: $25 per adult; $18 per child ages 6–12; children ages five years or younger are admitted free of charge with an adult. 

Preregister now for the Crimson Huddle.
