5th Annual Baseball Tailgate Party/Crawfish Boil

Grab your glove, your Tulane gear and your friends and join the Tulane Houston Club as we celebrate the mud bug, beer and baseball when the Green Wave faces the Rice Owls on Saturday, April 4 at Reckling Park.

If you have never made it out to this event in the past, it is one that you don't want to miss. This year we are teaming up with the Rice Alumni Association to make this the biggest and best tailgate yet.
 
Tailgate Party Tickets: This year's party will take place from 11am-2pm (first pitch is at 2:05pm). Your tailgate party ticket includes crawfish, corn and potatoes, fried catfish and french fries cooked on the spot, all the beer you can drink (soda for the kids), lots of Tulane giveaways plus baseball staples such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, and Double Bubble.

Raffle: Once again we will be raffling off some great Tulane autographed items including a team signed bat and a Matt Forte signed item. The proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Tulane Alumni Association and the Tulane Athletic Fund. Raffle tickets can be purchased online as you purchase your game tickets or during the tailgate party. The drawing will take place during the 7th inning stretch and you do not need to be present to win.
