Schedule
The Homecoming football game is scheduled for Saturday, October 10. The kickoff time will be announced at a later date.
The Wildcats will face the Ball State Cardinals at the all-new Ryan Field (1501 Central Street in Evanston, Illinois). Tickets may be purchased directly through NUSports.com once single-game tickets become available.
Advance registration is strongly encouraged, as some events may reach capacity. Tickets to the Homecoming football game must be purchased separately through NUSports.com when single-game tickets become available.
Most events during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend are casual. Because many activities involve walking and outdoor settings, we suggest comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing.
The recommended attire for class parties is listed on your class page.
Fall temperatures typically range from the low 40s to mid-60s, and rain is always a possibility. An umbrella and layered attire are recommended. Please note that some events take place outdoors and cannot be moved indoors.
