homecoming game

Alumni weekend football

A homecoming game is the football game at the center of a school's homecoming celebration, typically played in autumn when the home team hosts a rival.

The event draws alumni back to campus and features festivities like pep rallies, parades, and the crowning of a homecoming king and queen.
