There are many ways to join in the Homecoming festivities. Click here to see more information on the Trojan Family Game Day Experience, a family-friendly, on-campus tailgate that is free and open to the public. If you are an individual family or small group and wish to hold your own tailgate on campus you may apply for your tailgate permit and space here.

All official USC Schools/Units have specialized packages for tailgating on campus. Please contact Giselle Rodriguez at (213) 740-5944 or giselle.r@usc.edu if you have not received or have questions about an email with information on Homecoming Registration.
USC Affiliated groups can include the alumnae (women’s) groups, alumni networks, regional groups and school based alumni organizations (i.e., Fiji Alumni, Swim with Mike, USC Baseball). USC Affiliated Groups are welcome to register for either a tailgate or seller participant package by clicking on the registration link below. Campus has a limited number of tailgate spots available so be sure to apply early as space is granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note: Tailgating groups are not allowed to sell products in their tailgate area. Tailgate participants wishing to sell a product must purchase a seller booth. Conversely, tailgating and/or the consumption of alcohol is not permitted in the Trojan Marketplace. If your group also wishes to tailgate, you must register for a separate tailgate package.
Anyone that is not affiliated with USC and would like to sell their products are welcome to have a booth in the Trojan Marketplace.
