Before this afternoon's football game, Homecoming Weekend continued  with the Falcons Tailgate at the Wallace Civic Center parking lot. Fans and family alike geared up for the day’s games with their own tailgate cookout,  along with Identity Coffee, photo station, giveaways and cornhole. If you stopped by President Hodge’s Tailgate Tent, you got one of President Hodge's, literally, branded Fitch-burgers. Afterward, **the festivities will moved to Elliot Field where the Falcons football team took on the Mass. Maritime Academy Buccaneers**.
