Big Ten Network to broadcast from Purdue this Friday
The Big Ten Network will turn its spotlight on Purdue this week during Big Ten Friday Night Tailgate presented by Nissan.
Airing at 8:30 p.m. on Fridays, the irreverent, off-beat show visits a different Big Ten campus each week to capture the true essence of the collegiate atmosphere leading up to game day.
This week, host Mike Hall, contributor Charissa Thompson and on-location correspondents Jordan Klepper and Steve Waltien get a taste of the local campus flavor at Purdue as the Boilermakers and their fans get ready for Saturday’s game against Penn State.
Live segments of the show will take place at the parking lot at the corner of University Street and Victory Drive on Friday night. Purdue students who wish to participate as a member of the show’s live audience should meet there at approximately 8 p.m. ET.
