The 2025 Tailgate Season starts with Navy's first home game on Saturday, August 30! To learn more about how the tailgates operate, please join us on Sunday, August 17, at 7:00pm for an informative Zoom presentation.

 

Join us and learn about:

·     What is the NJ Parents Club tailgate

·     Where we are located at the Navy Marine Corps Stadium

·     How to participate (set up, cooking, serving)

·     Donating food

·     What to do with your food when you arrive

·     Where to park

The Club feeds all Midshipmen visiting our site at home football games. That’s 800 or more Mids per game! We need your participation, food, and support to continue this amazing tradition. Many hands make light work, there is a role for everyone. This is a unique opportunity for parents and friends to feed and engage with the future leadership of America.

 

Make one game, Make all the games.

Bring friends, Bring food, Bring friends’ food!

Come early, Come late, Come all day....

 

Let's chat, Sunday, August 17 at 7:00pm. See you on the Zoom.
