The Miami Tailgate in South Bend

Saturday, November 7, 2026

Joyce Tailgate Lots | Steps from Notre Dame Stadium

4:00 PM - approximately 6:30 PM ET | Kickoff scheduled for 7:30 PM ET

South Bend. Miami Style.

The Canes are headed to South Bend - and we're bringing Miami with us.

Join fellow Hurricanes fans and alumni for an all-inclusive pregame tailgate created by Miami fans, for Miami fans before one of the biggest road games of the season.

We'll be set up in the Joyce Tailgate Lots, steps from Notre Dame Stadium, putting you right in the middle of the Notre Dame game-day atmosphere without giving up the orange and green.

Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come ready to rep The U.

Your Tailgate Pass Includes:

Unlimited Food: Your tailgate ticket includes the game-day spread, so come hungry.

Unlimited Beer & Wine: Beer and wine are included throughout the tailgate.

A True Miami Tailgate in South Bend: A home base for Hurricanes fans and alumni with orange & green decor, Miami-inspired music and plenty of U energy.

Classic Tailgate Games: Cornhole and other traditional game-day favorites.

Miami Vibes: A little South Florida in South Bend with music and an atmosphere built for Canes fans.

Joyce Tailgate Lots: When it's time for kickoff, you're already steps from Notre Dame Stadium.

Pregame Timing: Doors open at 4:00 PM ET, approximately 3.5 hours before the scheduled 7:30 PM kickoff. The tailgate will conclude at approximately 6:30 PM ET, giving guests about one hour to make their way into Notre Dame Stadium.

Why This One?

Because if you're traveling all the way to South Bend to watch Miami play Notre Dame, you shouldn't have to spend your pregame surrounded by everyone except Miami fans.

This is our place to meet up, reconnect with old friends, make some new ones, eat, drink and get properly ready to cheer on the Canes.

One tailgate. One Miami crowd. One hell of a road game.

Tailgate Only - Game Ticket Not Required

Already have your game tickets? Perfect. This tailgate is available as a standalone experience, so whether you're sitting with our group, somewhere else in the stadium, or simply joining friends for the weekend, you're welcome to tailgate with us.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot and we'll see you in South Bend. GO CANES!
