Tailgate & Dinos vs. Golden Bears Football Game


There is nothing quite like the smell of a great BBQ emanating from a tailgate party before a big football game. And this will be a big game: the Dinos are playing their traditional arch-rivals, the University of Alberta Golden Bears, and will be looking to set the tone for a red-hot year in front of their fans (just a hint -- Dinos' fans will be the ones wearing a whole lotta RED).

Join us for a tailgate party featuring Spolumbo's sausages (FREE for the first 2,000 guests), and afterwards watch as the Dinos gear up to crush their rivals, the U of A Golden Bears. As if the prospect of sausages, football and fresh autumn air isn't enough -- for the students in the crowd, there’ll be a chance to win a semester's worth of free tuition (approximately $2,500), sponsored by your U of C Alumni Association!
