Join College of Design Dean, Tom Fisher, alumnus Darrel LeBarron (’68 B.Arch), owner of Station 19 Architects Inc. for a fun afternoon on campus.
Tom DeAngelo (’78 B.Arch.) of Architectural Alliance will give an insiders look at the design of the stadium, while you explore the historic Station 19 firehouse. Enjoy sweeping views into the stadium from three levels, including an outdoor patio where we’ll be firing up the grill. Ring the old fire bell, munch on game-day fare, and sign up for a chance to win free tickets to the sold-out Homecoming football game on October 10, 3 p.m.
After the reception, walk across the street for a closer look at the stadium during the University's TCF Bank Stadium Tours and University Open House (1-4 p.m.), including guided tours, interactive exhibits, concessions, and more.
