GAA Family Day Tailgate

It’s a great day to be a Tar Heel.

Tar Heels of all ages are invited to the GAA Family Day Tailgate on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015. We’re celebrating Tar Heels past, present and future with a traditional tailgate menu, games, face painting, game-day stickers and a photo booth.

Want to climb the Bell Tower? You can do that too! Let’s have some fun, celebrate our Carolina family and turn Kenan Stadium blue as the Tar Heels take on Delaware. Pre-registration is required for this event.

The tailgate will begin three hours before the game (kickoff will be announced 7-10 business days prior to game day).

Hark the Sound, and Go Heels!
