WMU football at Waldo Stadium
WMU’s first home football game is August 31 at 6 p.m. Tailgating and other related activities take over the parking lots and lawn of CHHS before each home game. For the safety and security of our building and its occupants, the CHHS building and Ernest Wilbur Building will lock at noon game days.
- Game-day classes are not canceled: Classes scheduled in the CHHS buildings on game day afternoons may be rescheduled or relocated. They will not be canceled. Students should check with their instructors for more information.
- Parking: Students, faculty and staff with appropriate permits may legally park in the CHHS lots before tailgating begins on game days. Once tailgating begins, you may have to pay to enter the lots. If you leave, it may be difficult or impossible to re-enter once tailgating activities begin.
"This is a challenge we face solely based on our proximity to the stadium," says Nancy Cretsinger, director of academic and student services. "But it's not a new challenge, and our staff and faculty work diligently to minimize the impact on our students."
Though the buildings will be closed for general use, individuals with swipe access to the building may enter and exit as usual.
