Bearkat Alley is the official tailgate area during football season. For every home game (and for specific away games) the Department of Campus Activities & Traditions hosts a variety of organizations and departments who tailgate in a designated area near Bowers Stadium. These groups cook an assortment of foods, which in return is free for all those who attend Bearkat Alley. Different giveaways are distributed throughout the season, ranging from t-shirts to spirit towels in order to boost Sam Houston pride!
