Homecoming is the most significant school spirit event of the year, and a major contributor to the student experience at the University of Guelph. It is especially exciting for thousands of first year students to experience, and be welcomed into the University community. In addition to adding to the student experience, Homecoming is also a significant cultural event for the Guelph community and for the University's Alumni. The following people would like the University of Guelph to reconsider opening the hill side of Alumni Stadium to spectators for the Homecoming football game on Saturday September 22, 2012.
