Looking for fun before kickoff? Join Eastern Alumni and Fans at the official Pre-Game Party located inside of Ford Field! You can enjoy food, beverages, beer and wine, and more inside the Comerica Gridiron Club. Event registration and a game ticket is required for club access. Open from 5:30-7:30 p.m., the pre-game party is a fun way to celebrate game day leading up to the Quick Lane Bowl. GameAbove is the official sponsor of the EMU Pre-Game Party, for more information, visit GameAbove.com. Early bird pricing is $35 per person and will go up to $40 on game day.
Eastern is officially the home team for the 2019 Quick Lane Bowl, which means the EMU Department of Athletics, students, fans, alumni, and supporters have the opportunity to bring traditions from "The Factory," inside Rynearson Stadium, to Ford Field. Eastern's "Eagle Walk," gives fans the opportunity to greet the team and coaches as they arrive at the stadium. That event will take place at 5:15 p.m. outside Gate A at Ford Field (Adams street), Dec. 26. Of course, no home game would be complete without the pregame band performance, the live bald eagle, as well as the team's famous taking to the field, which includes the demolition of a cinder block wall.
