Chartwells, the food service provider at Arkansas Tech, will offer a pre-game tailgating meal as part of the event. The meal will include tailgating staples and will be available for purchase. Students with a meal plan may enjoy the meal for one swipe. Students, alumni and friends can show their school spirit by being photographed on the green carpet with Jerry the Bulldog. Jerry will be at a tent throughout the festivities so fans can have their photo taken with him. Participants photographed with Jerry have the opportunity to win a campus stadium blanket. The Arkansas Tech University Alumni Association will also be on hand with several giveaways for fans. Fans will be able to obtain a complimentary Jerry the Bulldog button and have their photo taken in a photo booth. Additionally, the Arkansas Tech Alumni Association will have homecoming t-shirts available for purchase. Prior to the start of the game, fans will be able to purchase Arkansas Tech apparel from the bookstore location inside the stadium.
