Bowling Green State University will host the Liberty Flames at Doyt L. Perry Stadium on Saturday for Homecoming. The football game is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+ with Michael Reghi and Marcus Ray providing commentary. Fans can also listen to the game via the Falcon Radio Network or online through "The Varsity Network" app from Learfield Sports.

The event is sponsored by Wood County Hospital, and postgame fireworks are planned above the Sebo Center around 9 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to download digital tickets and parking passes before arriving at the stadium.

Homecoming activities include Freddie's 75th birthday celebration throughout the week and a Homecoming Court presentation during the third quarter break for students. The Ziggy Zone, a new student tailgate area in Tailgate Park, will be open, as well as traditional tailgating areas three hours before kickoff.

A 50/50 raffle benefiting both the Ziggy Collective—which supports NIL opportunities for BGSU female student-athletes—and Bowling Green Youth Baseball will take place during athletics events.

Students can park for free in designated lots on a first-come, first-served basis by showing their ID. Overflow parking is available in $10 lots. All RVs and trailers will be charged $100 for day-of parking, with overflow spaces available if needed.

Fans attending the game have access to various concessions including hot dogs, brats, burgers, kettle corn, pizza, coffee, seltzers, beer products and more. Merchandise tents selling Nike sideline gear and other items will open when stadium gates do at 2:30 p.m., with additional kiosks operating through halftime.

The Sebo Party Deck offers Falcon Club members who contribute annually at least $250 access to reserved seating and tailgate-style food in a climate-controlled space with large screens showing the game inside.

Game day programs are available digitally by scanning QR codes at stadium entrances. Lost-and-found services are provided at the marketing tent located in the south end zone; after games conclude items can be retrieved by contacting university administration.

Lightning protocols require evacuation of stands if strikes occur within ten miles of Doyt Perry Stadium; safe shelter locations include restrooms under stands or nearby facilities like Sebo Center or Stroh Center. Delays last a minimum of 30 minutes after each lightning strike.

For security reasons, pepper spray cans are not permitted inside Doyt L. Perry Stadium but can be checked temporarily at ticket windows for retrieval after leaving the venue.

Bowling Green State University maintains smoke-free policies inside its stadium facilities except in designated areas outside Gate 2. Recycling efforts are promoted through “Green Game Day,” which encourages fans to use provided green bags for cans and bottles while tailgating or recycle containers inside the stadium.
