Pack Out State Block Party ’26
Saturday, October 31 · 12:00 PM – 1:00 AM
The day,
start to finish
Tailgate, watch party, day party turned night party, all in one place, all on one wristband. The game opens it, the night closes it. Come when it fits your Homecoming.
12:00 PMDoors and kickoff
Killjoy and the parking lot become one space, and the game goes on at the same time. Music, grills, vendors, and the Pack on screens inside. Early is the easiest time to get in and the best time to find your people.
Through the gameWatch party
The Pack on screens inside, the lot running full tilt outside with DJ sets, food, and the cookout-meets-family-reunion energy this thing is built on. Watch every snap or never look up, both work.
At the stadiumCome straight back
Going to Carter-Finley instead? Your wristband has in and out all day, so head back to the block when the final whistle goes. Staying put? It is on every screen inside.
~3:30 PMBack to the block
Games run about three and a half hours, so the block fills back up from around 3:30. Indoor lounge vibes at Killjoy, the lot still going outside. Whether you went to the game or watched it here, this is where everybody lands after.
SundownIt turns over
