Laker Kickoff Spirit Tunnel

Friday, August 28, 2026 | 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Thank you for signing up to be part of the Laker Spirit Tunnel during Laker Kickoff! Below are some helpful details and tips:

• Please park in Lot F or Lot G

• Please plan to arrive and choose a spot along the parade route (route indicated on the map in red), and be ready to go by 6:30 p.m.!

We anticipate that our new incoming Lakers will start making their way on the parade route around 7 p.m., but in case we’re ahead of schedule, we want to make sure the Spirit Tunnel is ready! 

• Bring noise makers, foam fingers, pom poms, signage, and your Laker spirit!

• Feel free to bring a camping chair to sit in while you wait.

• Bring a water bottle and stay hydrated!

We’re so excited for you, your department, or team to have a presence during this exciting event — we can’t wait for you to line the student parade route from Lubbers Stadium to the Kirkhof Lawn and be a part of the Laker Kickoff Spirit Tunnel! 

Let Megan Wierenga (wierenme@gvsu.edu) know if you have any questions, and feel free to pass this information on to anyone you may know who would like to join in the fun!
