Once again this year, head coach Rick Neuheisel and UCLA Athletics will host a pre-game tailgate tent for all alumni Bruin football players to enjoy each other's company prior to each contest (except Homecoming, when there is a different event for all alumni student-athletes) at the Rose Bowl.

The tent is made possible by the generous support of the following sponsors: Thompson National Properties, LLC, Shannon and Andy Meyers, Bud Knapp and Bar One Catering.

Each former player is admitted for free and is allowed to bring a guest free of charge (additional guests may come for a nominal fee).

This season, the tent has adopted a charity (Beyond Shelter) and former players can participate by bringing canned or non-perishable foods or gift cards to the California game (Oct. 17), holiday toys to the Arizona State contest (Nov. 21) or making a donation to the charity through Then Now Forever.
