Every year, the Cullen College Alumni Association hosts tailgate events at the Party on the Plaza in front of the UH Alumni Association before University of Houston home football games. Many Cullen College Cougars, faculty, staff and students come to enjoy great food and drinks before the Coogs kickoff. It is a great time to reconnect with old friends, meet someone new and celebrate the Cullen College and Cougar community!
“Party on the Plaza” Tailgating begins 3 hours prior and finishes 45 minutes before kickoff. Tailgates include food, beverages, music, promotional items, lawn games, autographs and photo ops.
