Join fellow Wildcats for a fun and casual pre-game gathering before the Detroit Tigers take on the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park! We’ll be meeting at the Taphouse Presented by Bell’s Brewery, located inside Little Caesars Arena, just a short walk from the stadium.

No game ticket is required to attend the gathering—all NMU alumni, friends, and fans are welcome to stop by, reconnect, and get into the game day spirit with us! Join us for light bites, a cash bar, and a good time! Enjoy great company, a relaxed atmosphere, and gear up to cheer on the Tigers with fellow members of the NMU community.

Registration is required as space is limited. We look forward to seeing you there!
