Frequently Asked Questions for Participants
When is the parade?
The homecoming parade will take place on Friday, September 30, at 6 p.m. Check-in will begin at 5 and 5:30 p.m., depending on which group you are in.
How do I know what group I am in?
You’ll receive an email from the Homecoming Staging Director letting you know where you will be in the parade lineup. If you have any other
questions regarding your group, please email asun1@unl.edu.
Where do I go?
Check-in for Group A will be on the corner of 12th and R St., beginning at 5 p.m. Check-in for Group B will be at the same location at 5:30 p.m. The parade route will east on R
Street, turn north at 16th Street, head west at Vine Street and turn to follow the stadium loop. Destaging will take place on 14th Street south of Hawks Hall.
We went all out, and we have a lot of stuff. Where can we put it?
Bring all of your necessary materials—golf cart, float, flatbed, vehicle, insurance, candy, etc.—with you to your check in area.
Everything you bring must be stored on or in your float or golf cart, so plan accordingly.
If you are bringing a vehicle, please be sure to submit insurance information to ASUN (asun1@unl.edu) by
Thursday, September 29, 2022, and instruct drivers to bring their licenses on the day of the event.
NOTE: When distributing candy, please remember to hand it out. Throwing candy is NOT permitted.
Do we have to bring anything besides what goes on our golf cart or float?
No. Your golf cart/float/flatbed and all materials needed to finish your golf cart or float are acceptable, but we want to
avoid clutter/litter/safety hazards/lost things at all costs.
If you are driving a vehicle for candidates or your float, bring your insurance and driver’s license to display for check-in. We will provide all floats with fire
extinguishers and numbers designating their place in the line-up order. The rest is up to you.
What if we’re going to be late?
If you have members of your organization/float who have conflicts that result in your whole group being tardy, you MUST TELL THE STAGING DIRECTOR PRIOR TO FRIDAY. If
you have individual members of your group that will show up later than check-in, it is your responsibility to make sure they arrive before release. The only things that are mandatory upon check-in are your float and a representative to check
your organization. The rest is your responsibility.
Who can I email/look for with any questions?
If you have questions prior to or on parade day, please email the staging director at asun1@unl.edu.
