The day is here—our favorite secular holiday. The day to celebrate all that is Ball State with booze, tailgating and football: Homecoming.
Luckily, you don’t have to wait until tailgate starts at noon to start partying. Going to the bar in the morning is a totally appropriate way to start out your day because Brothers Bar & Grill and The Chug are opening up in the morning and serving some greasy food. So load up on the biscuits and gravy to rid yourself of that hangover from Friday night. It may be 5 o’clock somewhere … and no one cares if it’s only 9 a.m. in Muncie.
Sorry, under-21 crowd, both events are 21+.

Going by this schedule, you can go to Brothers at 8 a.m., The Chug at 9 a.m., and still get a good seat in the Village to watch the parade, which starts downtown at 10 a.m., and make it in time to tailgate at noon. Don't forget the game at 3 p.m.
Happy Homecoming!
