SLU Celebrates Homecoming and Family Weekend

09/25/2023

More than 5,000 Saint Louis University community members registered for 2023 Homecoming and Family Weekend, making it one of the largest events of its kind in recent campus history.

Packed with 30 campus events, the weekend welcomed everyone from SLU's Golden Billikens celebrating their 50th reunions to first-year students at the Legacy Lunch to future Billikens enjoying the family fun area during the pregame celebration.

A capacity crowd of 6,457 attended Saturday's men's soccer game, the second-largest attendance in Hermann Stadium history. That is also the largest on-campus crowd of the season in the NCAA this year and the second-highest attended game overall, trailing only the 8,000+ who witnessed the SLU-SIUE match at CITYPARK earlier this season.

The large crowd saw the Billikens beat Fordham, 2-1, and enjoyed fireworks after game.

SLU's Homecoming and Family Weekend at Saint Louis University is three days of events celebrating SLU that is always held the last weekend in September. The tradition dates back to the mid-1920s. 

Homecoming brings the entire SLU community together —SLU alumni mingle with current students and staff and faculty. Homecoming at Saint Louis University is also "parents weekend" at SLU where all guardians and family members of current Billikens are invited.
