• Welcome to Paradise: Friday, October 2, at 6:00 p.m.
• Owl Family Weekend Tailgate: Saturday, October 3, from 3:00–6:00 p.m.
• Discounted FAU Football Tickets: Once you purchase your Family Weekend Swag Bag, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to purchase discounted tickets to FAU Football vs. Texas Southern on Saturday, October 3 at 6:00 p.m. You can also purchase our à la carte Welcome to Paradise and/or Signature Tailgate events, but the swag bag purchase is all you need to receive the discounted football ticket link!
