Portland State Athletics has set its football promotions schedule for the 2022 season and is implementing a new pre-game party called Vik Fest at Hillsboro Stadium.
VIK FEST
Open from 12:30 - 2:00 pm on game day, Vik Fest is the official pre-game party hosted by Portland State Athletics. Located inside Hillsboro Stadium, fans can enjoy full-service catering with tailgate fare; a separate cash bar is available with popular beer and wine options for fans to enjoy. Fans can watch college football games from across the country with two big-screen televisions under the fully-covered tent and play popular tailgate games. Exclusive Vikings giveaways will be available, as well as visits from the Vikings Dance and Cheer teams and Victor E. Viking.
Vik Fest is included in all Season ticket packages. Non-season ticket holders cost is $20 per person and a game ticket.
VIKING RAID PRESENTED BY UNIVERSITY POINTE AT COLLEGE STATION
For each game, fans can enjoy carnival-like games on the east side of the field beginning 90 minutes before kickoff until halftime. A football toss and inflatable axe throwing will be regular staples, but each game will have additional entertainment options for fans to enjoy
