Celebrate America’s birthday in Ross-Ade Stadium

Ross-Ade Stadium at night with fireworks in the sky and a scoreboard featuring the Purdue Day of Giving logo. Text reads “Stadium Nights” and “A Purdue University celebration.”

The Boilermaker community is invited to Stadium Nights — a Purdue University celebration under the lights of Ross-Ade — from 6-9:30 p.m. April 29. The event is free, but registration is required.

The first portion of the evening will include a showing of the movie “First Man” on the jumbotron. Special programming will begin at 8:30 p.m. As part of Purdue Day of Giving, two lucky Purdue students will be given the chance to earn $10,000 scholarships. The excitement will continue with President Mung Chiang and special guests honoring America’s 250th birthday and the university’s contributions to our nation’s history. Be sure to stay until the end to enjoy a dazzling fireworks show.

Learn more about Stadium Nights by visiting the registration page. After registering, individuals will receive a confirmation email with a QR code, which will need to be used to enter Ross-Ade Stadium for the event.
