Get ready for the biggest, boldest, and most patriotic tailgate of the year. Built by Special Operations warriors, this event brings together the energy of Army–Navy weekend with the power of a mission that saves lives. This isn’t just a tailgate — it’s an experience.

We’re turning up the volume with a live performance by GRAMMY-nominated FUEL, premium food and drinks, and the electric atmosphere that only thousands of veterans, service members, and die-hard fans can create. Want next-level access? VIP guests get exclusive Horse Soldier Bourbon tastings and private hospitality, surrounded by the heroes whose legacy inspired it.

You’ll meet Green Berets, Rangers, Marines, and SOF legends — and every moment you’re here fuels a purpose. 100% of proceeds support veteran brain health, blast and impact injury education, and suicide prevention programs. Every ticket literally helps save a life.

Hosted by Blue Fusion, founded by retired Special Forces SGM Bruce Parkman, with Horse Soldier Bourbon featured exclusively in VIP.
