Warrior Field was a sea of black and gold on Saturday, September 21 for Homecoming, featuring the annual Battle of Waterloo football game.
More than 3,000 alumni, staff, students and community members filled the grandstands to cheer on the Warriors in a hard-fought 39-23 loss to the Laurier Golden Hawks.
Formerly Alumni Black and Gold Day, Homecoming is more than a football game for many alumni like Eric Celentano (BSc ’79). It’s a chance to connect with the University of Waterloo community.
“You see a real mix in the crowd from students through to graduates from the 60s and 70s,” said Eric who has been attending alumni game days and events for the past decade. Eric is also a member of the UWaterloo Alumni Council.
“The best part of the day is catching up with people you know and meeting new people. It becomes a network.”
