Tailgate with Alumni
This football season, the South Alabama National Alumni Association will be hosting TWO tailgates in Jag City, right outside of Hancock Whitney Stadium! Our Member Appreciation tailgate will be September 5 when the Jags play Southeastern Louisiana. Our Homecoming tailgate will be on October 3 when the Jags play Louisiana Monroe.
For all other home games, you’ll find us right in the heart of the action on Jaguar Row. Stop by the Alumni Tent to purchase a button, become a member, and rep your alumni pride. Be on the lookout for our 2026 beat button collection.
The South Alabama Alumni Association will be hosting away game tailgates for both Tulane and Kentucky. Click the links to learn more about travel packages.
Don't miss out on these fantastic opportunities to connect with old friends, make new ones, and support Jaguar Football. Go Jags!
