It’s homecoming week, meaning there will be no shortage of events taking place on Vanderbilt’s campus this weekend and beyond. This is especially the case with Vanderbilt’s athletic teams.
The calendar is dotted with a number of home events, including two soccer matches, a women’s tennis tournament, football game, basketball fan event and baseball’s Black & Gold Series. A complete schedule of events is listed below. Please note there is free admission to all athletic events with the exception of the football game against Missouri at 3 p.m. Saturday.
