Show your Jaguar pride and ROAR with IUPUI Athletics. With 18 NCAA Division I varsity sports, there’s a team you can get behind. Our swimming and diving teams make a splash in the world-class IU Natatorium, our men’s basketball team competes at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum, and our soccer teams compete at the on-campus Michael A. Carroll Stadium.

Whether you’re a new or seasoned Jag fan, we’ve compiled some pointers on how to really roar this year.

Tip 1: Unleash your Jag spirit at the SAPB Spirit Night at tomorrow’s (Sept. 5) women’s soccer match, 7 p.m. at Carroll Stadium. IUPUI students get in free.

Tip 2: Speaking of free – all IUPUI Athletics events have free admission for IUPUI students. Yes, free. Show your CrimsonCard. Walk in. Get loud.

Tip 3: Join The Prowl – the official student section – for home games. Dress up. Make signs. Roar loud and proud.

Tip 4: Use a home event for any sport as a callout for your student organization. Share information about your club and cheer on the Jags to victory. Win-win.

Tip 5: Go wild for the themed nights and participate in the halftime contests during basketball season. Free shuttles are provided from campus to the Coliseum and back for all men’s home games. It’s as easy as that.

Tip 6: Mark your calendar for the Red-White Scrimmage in The Jungle. It’s tentatively scheduled for Monday, Oct. 28. More details are to come.

Tip 7: Stay connected so you never miss a thing. Follow @IUPUIJaguars on Twitter, @iupui_jaguars on Instagram and @IUPUIAthletics on Facebook.

IUPUI is a proud member of the Horizon League. Last year alone, the Jaguars knocked off teams from Boston College, Memphis, Michigan State and Ole Miss in a variety of sports.
