Take 5: Five things to know about USask’s Homecoming 2025
One of the most anticipated times of year on campus, Homecoming 2025 welcomes back alumni, students, staff, faculty, and the entire University of Saskatchewan (USask) community to reunite, reminisce, and root for the Huskies.
By Sean Conroy1. The fun begins at the Co-op Family Rally Alley on Sept. 5.
Visiting the Co-op Family Rally Alley is the perfect way to set the mood before any Huskie football game, especially during Homecoming. Opening at 5 pm on Sept. 5, fans can enjoy food and beverages for sale, samples from Great Western, games, live entertainment, and more. Alumni are invited to visit the USask Alumni tent in the Co-op Family Rally Alley for giveaways and more.
2. Then it’s time for the Homecoming football game presented by Original 16.
Homecoming is not complete without cheering on the Huskies at Griffiths Stadium in Nutrien Park along with thousands of fans, students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Get your tickets and watch the Huskies take on the UBC Thunderbirds on Sept. 5 at 7 pm.
Don’t miss the unmatched atmosphere for Huskie football and join the USask community as we attempt to set a new attendance record of more than 10,054 fans, surpassing the mark set in 2023.
The first 1,500 fans at the game will receive a special gift courtesy of the Huskies and Original 16.
Be sure to plan a safe ride to and from the game.
3. Celebrations and traditions are also part of the Homecoming game.
The 2024-25 national champion Huskie women’s basketball team will be honoured as part of the Homecoming game. The festivities will also include the traditional Toga Run. The origins of the Toga Run date back to the early 1960s and involve first-year students living in residence dressing in togas and running around the track at halftime. Also, no Huskie football home game would be complete without the sing-along to “Sweet Caroline” during the third-quarter stretch.
4. Homecoming is also a celebration of USask’s Silver Grads.
2025 marks the silver anniversary of USask’s Class of 2000. Silver Grads are invited to join classmates in the special Silver Grads cheering section and to visit Rally Alley for alumni swag and Class of 2000 festivities. Silver Grads are encouraged to get their tickets before Aug. 29 to secure their seats. Homecoming is the perfect opportunity for our Silver Grads to enjoy the game, cheer on the Huskies, and reconnect with their fellow grads.
5. Reunite with your graduating class or take a campus tour during Homecoming.
USask graduating classes are celebrating anniversaries with reunions and campus tours before, during, and after Homecoming. Don’t miss the opportunity to reconnect with friends and classmates with whom you share a unique and enduring bond. Many other reunions take place throughout the year, so Homecoming is also a great time to reconnect with fellow alumni and to begin planning your own class reunion.
