Nothing captures the essence of fall like the crisp air and collegial atmosphere at a Philadelphia area college football game. Whether you barbeque, brunch or tailgate before the big game, this is Homecoming season and Philadelphia's colleges and universities do it right.
The Penn Quakers take on the Bears of Brown University on Saturday, November 1 at historic Franklin Field. This is the Quakers' Homecoming game, a rematch of last year's win by the Bears — expect this to be a heated contest.
Villanova, another local power, packs the crowds in for their home games. They host national powerhouse James Madison on October 25 for their Homecoming game. Villanova games are always exciting, so don't miss this one.
Finally, if you can't secure an Eagles ticket, take in a Temple football game at Lincoln Financial Field. The Bobcats of Ohio University travel to South Philadelphia on November 10, so support the Owls and experience pigskin at its finest.
