The First Bank & Trust Alumni Rabbit Den is the go-to tailgate destination for SDSU alumni and fans – bringing people together to connect, celebrate, and get ready for kickoff.

This is the designated location for SDSU alumni and fans to connect and gear up for kickoff without the work and equipment that normally come with tailgating.

The Alumni Rabbit Den has become an SDSU football tradition, but not without the generous support of our sponsors.

Presently, the First Bank & Trust Alumni Rabbit Den is a freewill donation event for all alumni and fans, and we'd like to continue that tradition. That's why we are asking you to support the yellow and blue and its ever-growing family of SDSU alumni and friends.

Please note: Sponsorship opportunities for this year's football season are now filled. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for the 2027–28 football season, please fill out the form below, and a member of our team will reach out.
