Special Event, Chieftain Palooza: Starting off with a Friday football tailgate, designed to replicate the atmosphere of a college game day. The event begins at 4 PM, with the live show starting at 5 PM and ending at 6 PM. We'd greatly appreciate it if all of our DMS football players would attend and wear their jerseys to help create an exciting atmosphere and ensure our presence outshines that of any other town that has attempted this event. This is a community event and is free for all who attend. Additionally, Friday is senior night, and it will be a “pink out” game. Any fan, regardless of age, wearing pink will gain entry for just $1, with proceeds benefiting the Borgess Tree of Love.
Friday Football Tailgate is coming to Chris Taylor Alumni Field this Friday, October 18th for this week's game against the Buchanan Bucks. The setup will be like college game day with a stage, commentators and even the video wall. They will host a pre-game show with coaches, athletes and alumni. They will break down the game and hype up the crowd.
We will also have games, food and entertainment for the community starting at 4 pm.
This is a community event with no charge!
Reminder it's Pink Out! Anyone wearing pink gets into the game for $1. Gate proceeds go to the Borgess Tree of Love.
Bring your school spirit and wear your finest Chieftain Pink Out Gear!
This event is being sponsored by the Dowagiac Athletic Department.
Way to go Amelia!
