The Saturday Tailgate is hosted by the Pegasus Parent Program and Parent and Family Philanthropy Council three hours prior to the SMU vs. UCF game. Students and families who register for this event will have the opportunity to network with fellow UCF families and university leadership, play lawn games, enjoy tailgate food, hear insider information about the university, and learn more ways parents and families can be involved. Tickets to the tailgate can be purchased when registering for Family Weekend and cost $35.02 per person.
Football tickets are sold separately and are on sale now! However, there is a limited quantity available. More information on how to purchase tickets can be found here:
