About this Event
In 1701, after inventing the game of football, Handsome Dan decided that the experience would not be complete without the fellowship of Yalies gathering from far and wide to share beverages, food and fun in advance of the competition on the field. Thus was born The Yalegate. Time, language and regional accents eventually morphed the word into something that many people know now as a "tailgate" and which has been copied by fans around the world... but it started with Yale, just as we will start our weekend festivities for The Game.
Join fellow BOLD recent graduates as we cap our Camp Yale Emeritus / Touchdown Cincinnati series at The Yalegate, the night before The Game. Savor existing Yale friendships and make new ones so that you will have even more friendly faces at Yale gatherings in the future.
Co-hosts: Israel Demandel (2024 BS), Leo Haenni (2017 BS), Alexa Jewell (2020 BS), Cole Snedeker (2023 BA), Adam Wardak (2018 MBA), Celeste Watkins (2024 MBA).
This event is being hosted at a private venue in the Clifton neighborhood. You will receive the address and parking instructions once you reserve your spot. There will be a spread of charcuterie, heavy appetizers, desserts, wines, and beers. All Yale BOLD alumni (Bulldogs of the Last Decade -- recent graduates of the last 10 years) and guests are welcome. Attendance is free, but PLEASE RESPOND ASAP because we only have a limited number of seats. Reserve your seat ASAP as there is limited space. There is no dress code, but attendees are encouraged to wear Yale gear or something blue. While the event officially ends at 8pm, there will undoubtedly be a group that stays out late. It is, after all, The Game.
