The event, in Spartan Alley by Lot E and the Student Recreation Complex, will be a “spirited atmosphere to get you ready for the game,” according to a press release from Brad Cygan, director of sports information.

Tailgating in Lot A begins at 9 a.m. Saturday and will last until the end of the game. Spaces are available for $10. For more information, call Cygan at 314-744-5372.

Vendors will be on campus from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. so come hungry for the food trucks.

Food trucks will include Sia’s Italian Ice, Curbside Cookery, and Pyro Pizza STL, according to the press release.

“The Rally in the Alley is an excellent way to pep up MBU students, family and friends. This event will generate Spartan Spirit and get everyone excited for the game,” said Brianna Brokaw, a transfer junior from Saint Charles Community College.

St. Louis DJ Billy Greenwood will be broadcasting live for 93.7 the Bull from campus.

You’ll have the chance to win prizes and gift cards until 12:30 p.m.

“This is the perfect way to start our inaugural season,” said Lynn Tyler, a junior communication studies major who is on the cheerleading squad. “We are really hoping the fans come out and support our new football team.”
