Orono, Maine -- Homecoming Week 2017 is here! We look forward to providing several options for your entertainment as our alumni return to campus to reconnect and cheer on the Black Bears!
Football Homecoming Tailgate Parking:
Due to the expected high demand for tailgate spots on homecoming weekend, an additional lot has been added for tailgate parking overflow. All fans looking to bring a vehicle into a tailgate lot should line up on College Avenue to enter via Gate B. Once through the gate, fans will be directed to the proper lot. Access to all tailgate lots is free, however access to the Leadbetter's Lot requires a special Season Membership pass. Season Memberships are on sale now! Buy now to reserve your spot in the Leadbetter's Lot! Tailgate spots are provided on a first come, first serve basis. For a complete map of the tailgating areas, please click

Fans! Show us that you have the best tailgate on Saturday and you could win four tickets to cheer on the Black Bears when they take on
UMass at Fenway Park. Special guest judges will be on hand to judge the tailgate displays!
Shuttle Bus Service:
A shuttle bus service will run from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14 to assist with transporting fans around campus.
