Kicking off the weekend festivities will be a rally in the new Walter A. Haas Jr. Pavilion. The arena's seating capacity has more than doubled from 6,000 to 12,100, and its ceiling height will extend to almost 100 feet.
Admission is free.
Homecoming weekend will also feature faculty seminars taught by some of Cal's most distinguished professors. Topics include art history, chemistry and education reform. On Saturday, a BBQ lunch precedes the football game against Arizona State. Throughout the weekend, registered participants can gain free admission to campus museums, tours and open houses. In the past, Homecoming was held separately from class reunions and from family weekend.
