Recreational Events

Hoosier Village

Leave your gear, tailgate here!

Open to the public, Hoosier Village takes care of all the preparation so you can concentrate on the fun of tailgating. Things get rolling three hours before each home game — although you can arrive anytime before kickoff — and you’ll find entertainment, food and beverages from some of Bloomington’s favorite establishments, activities and games for all ages, a live pregame radio show with the IU Football Radio Network, and plenty of Hoosier spirit to get you fired up for the game! And it all happens just steps south of Memorial Stadium.

Make Hoosier Village part of your 2012 season!
