As one can imagine, the crowd has vastly changed over the decades. From crowd size, to fashion, to diversity, each decade is completely different from the last. While the students of 1950 wore nice but casual clothing to the homecoming events, students from the early 2000s to today can be seen in formal dresses for the homecoming dance and decked out in blue and ODU merchandise for the big game and parade. School spirit has come a long way over the decades.

There is an event for everyone to enjoy during homecoming week. The Alumni Honors event celebrates ODU Alumni who have excelled in their professions and those who have made a lasting impact on their communities. There is also an annual Black Alumni Chapter (BAC) brunch that ends the week. The brunch includes a buffet, beverages, and networking opportunities. Parents’ weekend allows the parents to join in on the festivities and see all the school spirit. The tailgates allow for students, Alumni, and fans alike to join together and have some fun before the big game starts.
