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 and before the game, 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 and fun giveaways. The IUP Student Ambassadors will host fun activities for children, and our mascot, Norm, will make an appearance!
