Is the Alumni Pavilion BYOB?

I did a search on the forums but could not find the answer. Thanks in advance!

As memory serves me (I seldom go there)..they have a cash bar.

Cash bar. No BYOB.

I love the idea of the Alumni Pavilion, however... it is always jam packed. I know it is a reflection on our alumni as the size of the facility... but i usually skip it bc it doesnt seem worth attending....

Has that changed?

There were discussions last year about opening it back up after the games during the postgame radio show. It would be even better if the postgame show could be hosted there.This would be an excellent way to boost involvement for the alumni association, and fans could spend meaningful time while waiting for traffic to clear.

They open 2 hours before kickoff, and I usually get there around that time to avoid the crowd. After about an hour, a head over to the stadium and watch the warm-ups. It's makes for a longer day but no stress or crowds this way, so that's an easy choice for me.

Same. Wife and I usually head over there as soon as the team walks from the bus to the locker room, eat, have a couple of drinks, and give our table to people trying to eat standing up.

They did build out and open an additional patio last year.

No one goes there anymore - it’s too crowded.
