2021 Homecoming Football Game:
Saturday, Oct. 23 – EWU vs. Weber State
Sign Up for the Team Challenge!
We know the past year has been difficult for building a sense of community. This year’s Team Challenge is focused on fixing that. A big change for this year is adding the option for staff and faculty to join teams with students. Winners will receive a trophy, an Eagle gift pack valued at $200, and their team name announced at the EFH football game. Events include Spirit Splash, Bed Races, Window Painting and more!
Alumni Event Highlight:
Red Turf Royalty
Friday, Oct. 22, 2021 | 5:30-9 p.m.
Let us treat you like royalty the night before the big Eagle Family Homecoming game! Receive a VIP experience with a backstage pass that most Eagle fans never get. Enjoy exclusive tours, after-hours shopping at The Eagle Store, a royal feast, and more!
We can’t wait to roll out the red carpet for you this Homecoming weekend!
