The Gameday Experience starts three hours prior to weekend games and two hours prior to weeknight games with a tailgating experience for the whole family. Located in front of Millett Hall on the south side, families and sports fans alike can enjoy the music of a live band, food from Miami's award-winning Carillon Catering and interactive games for all ages.

NEW! RedHawk College Football Gameday presented by ESPN 1450-AM "The Ticket"

RedHawks' College Football Gameday presented by ESPN 1450-AM "The Ticket," starts two hours before the game and is hosted by "The Ticket's" own Bill Douglas.
