Since 1938, homecoming has been a staple in Old Dominion University’s campus pride. It has evolved greatly over the decades, with some traditions staying and some being removed over time. From starting out as just a football game and a dance, homecoming has evolved to an entire week of festivities. Students can be seen celebrating school spirit at the annual tailgate, parade, concert, and much more.
