Basketball Pregame Parties

Body

Come back home to cheer on the Gaels and have a blast at pregame parties. Or, we'll bring the party to you at select road games this winter and spring. 

Pregame Parties

There’s no better place to gear up for a game than on our campus!

Before every home game, enjoy a Pregame Party on the newly-renovated terrace and turf lawn in front of UCU Pavilion. Festivities start 2 hours before tip-off. Fans of all ages will enjoy food and drink sales, including beer and wine. Play yard games and relax in the red and blue adirondack lawn chairs.  

Select games will host elevated FanFests with a DJ, photo booth, bounce houses, and additional offerings, including: 

  • 11/7 vs. Oral Roberts (Home opener)
  • 11/19 vs. Hofstra (Homecoming)
  • 2/4 vs. Gonzaga (Bulldog Roast)

At gametime, you’re just steps away from the best college hoops environment in California.

The 1928 Pub

Also, The Pub is back! The 1928 Pub is open on gamedays starting two hours before tip-off and is located at Cassin Student Union, next to Dryden Hall.

 

Away from Home

The party comes to you when the Gaels go on the road. Fans can meet up for pregame parties at away and neutral site games. Details to come.

 

Party in a Box

Host a public watch party for fellow Gael fans and we'll send you a Party in a Box kit to make it a hit!

Party in a Box packs are available for key games, including the WCC Championship and any NCAA Tournament games. Your event must be held in a public location (restaurant, bar, etc.) and will be promoted by the Alumni office so more Gaels can join.

 

Watch/Listen

9 regular season games will be broadcast on ESPN networks and 2 more on CBS Sports Network. Other broadcasts vary based on location and provider. View the Men's Basketball schedule on SMCGaels.com for the most up to date viewing option. 

Watch online at The WCC Network, if available at your location. 

Fans can listen to live audio broadcasts and pre and postgame shows on internet radio. Links will be published here. Alumnus Alex Jensen enters his 9th season as voice of the Gaels. 

 

Parking

When arriving to Saint Mary’s campus, attendants will collect fees and guide drivers to the lots closest to UCU Pavilion. VIP and handicap parking will be available in the lot adjacent to UCU Pavilion.
