Ron Tomczik and C.J. Lyngen at Homecoming in 2008
As the September calender clicks forward to October that wonderful time of year is upon us as the fall colors burst, SJU class reunions are readied and the highpoint of University activity and Johnnie 2009 Homecoming is launched.
If you’re looking for a spot to grab a bite before the Johnnie vs Royal football game, swing into the Science Center Parking Lot above the south endzone for one of Johnnie Red’s tantilizing burgers(ground round is raging throughout the metro restaurant scene and the Stiftungsfest Burger is one not to miss!)or one of Veek’s wild rice brats – a specialty from Thielen Meats in Little Falls!
If you care to hang out with friends bring a tasty treat to share and also consider contributing to support the family of the late Jim Goodman ’84, a Johnnie wrestler, Alumni Board member and chapter volunteer who left a wife and three daughters when he suddenly passed away last year.
Start your morning with a swing through our beautiful campus, stop by the Homecoming Stiftungsfestivities for some cheer and get your hands on one of the lovely “Feed The Rat” T-shirts available at our Johnnie Pregaming event.
Remember to look for our blue-clad “Game Day Hosts” who’ll have useful tips when “toasting” with friends and please be discreet while observing campus rules regarding open containers.
Grills open at 10:00am with activity beginning at 9:00am!
