Check their website and/or Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ReamerClub) for time changes, updates and cancellations.
• On game days, fans, especially families, looking for fun before the game need to check out the popular Boilermaker Crossing. Meet-the-team events, inflatable games, and interactive opportunities highlight the list of activities. The Boilermaker Crossing is free and open to fans of all ages. Located in the Sally & Bob Weist Plaza, between Mackey Arena and Holloway Gymnasium, Boilermaker Crossing open 3 hours before kickoff.

• Purdue Band and Orchestra Presents: Jazz Tailgate at Slayter Hill before each game in September.
• Watch as the Purdue All-American" Marching Band and auxiliaries entertain the crowd at Slayter Hill, during Thrill at the Hill, 90 minutes prior to kickoff with music, trivia, and more!
• Tailgating fun! Open eight hours prior to kickoff but no earlier than 7 a.m., join Purdue fans as they grill, cook and celebrate the upcoming game. For tailgating rules, visit the Purdue Tailgating website.
  • Check out great Tailgating tips and services at Tailgate Guys! This site includes packages, tailgate locations, as well as catering and beverages.
• Breakfast Club: A Purdue tradition before any football game is to get up super early, dress up in a costume, and do a bar crawl. It can be an interesting and entertaining way to start the day.
