It’s your turn to be part of the tradition!
Pedro the Panda is the lovable trophy-slash-mascot for the annual game. The Gee-Gees have won four years in a row, including a huge 37-7 win last year. Can we make it five?
As we mark the Panda Game’s 54th year, we’re giving you even more Panda! Here’s everything you need to know.
Free food (while supplies last) and free shuttles to TD Place!
Kick off the day at the Pre-Panda Tailgate, starting at 9 a.m. in the 90U residence parking lot on campus. There’ll be food trucks and vendors on site and DJ TDOT will be performing.
Kickoff is at high noon
The Panda Game clash begins at high noon. There are a few tickets left but act fast! Grab your uOttawa hoodies and merch. Wear your garnet and grey with pride. Enjoy the game but please, play by the book!
Back to campus for Post-Panda Party
The PandaFest won’t stop when the final whistle blows. Head back to the 90U residence parking lot on campus for the Post-Panda Party. There will be more, mystery performances until 11 p.m.
Play by the 2023 Panda Playbook
The right to have fun comes with some responsibility. We’ve been working with partners to ensure that this year’s Panda Game and its celebrations follow the rules. Grab your Gee-Gees hoodies and your friends and enjoy the game! But please, play by the book!
Follow Pedro the Panda’s advice: Celebrate football in style, be mindful and respectful of neighbours’ properties and homes, and party only in designated areas.
Party safe. Party smart. Party onside
You don’t need to drink alcohol or use drugs to have fun, but if you choose to consume, make sure you know how to party safer.
