What is your favorite University of Idaho Homecoming tradition?
Football
While the sport is widely available every weekend, either in person or on TV, you just can’t match the electric energy surrounding a packed stadium during homecoming.

All fun, no work
Homecoming might be the one weekend of the year where I say no to homework and yes to all things fun.
— Hailey
Blast from the past
Homecoming brings a sense of tradition and school pride to UI’s campus. The best part of the week isn’t the events, but the return of alumni. Who better to share a beer with than a Vandal from 1975 or 2003?
— Olivia
Serpentine
What can top a long line of potentially inebriated college kids and a giant fire?

Tower Lights
I love how there is a residence hall-related event. I remember my freshman year it made me feel more welcome at homecoming.
— Lindsay
Tailgate times
There are always some great memories when tailgating before a matchup in the Kibbie. Sometimes you make too great of memories and you might forget there is a game.
— Chris
Vandal reunions
Homecoming always seems to be one of the best times to get together with family and old friends. Whether it be a long night at the Corner Club or an hour waiting for a table at the Breakfast Club, there are so many opportunities to catch up with the people that matter most.

Football fanatics
It is not exactly a secret Idaho football does not stir up a lot of fanfare on a regular basis, with the exception of homecoming. Once a year, Idaho football is the biggest to-do on the Palouse. Sometimes the team even makes it extra special and wins.

Easy food access
Since everyone is distracted by the different events, I can get into my favorite restaurants much quicker. Food is good, but it tastes better when my wait is cut in half.
— Max
I-D-A-H-O
My favorite part of homecoming week is the football game. While it may be stereotypical, nothing beats the event that brings past, present and future Vandals together under one roof.
— Elizabeth
Food, food and food
Nothing beats good, greasy food that tastes great.
