In preparation for the UNC Charlotte homecoming game against the FIU Panthers, we want to remind Charlotteans what it means to tailgate like a true 49er grad or fan. Thankfully, the ultimate tailgate experience with all of these characteristics will take place on October 15 in the form of an Oktoberfest.
The Hauser Alumni Pavilion will be equipped with an all-you-can-eat buffet, open bar, samples from local craft brewers, live music, bounce house and games. Also, they’ve extended the hours to 2:30-5:30 p.m. so you can have more time to reconnect and catch up with your fellow Alumniners.
So how’s a proper 49ers tailgate done?

This aspect holds true for any kind of gathering in Charlotte. The Queen City takes craft beer very seriously, so why wouldn’t your tailgate?
Be prepared, no matter what.

The Hauser Alumni Pavilion provides shelter from any and all elements. A true 49ers fan would never let wind, rain, snow or anything else get in the way of supporting the team. And don’t forget, the pavilion has food and drinks, so you’ll be able to fuel up for extreme cheering.
