Is there an alumni bar in Minneapolis for my school?

The sections on this page split them by what the evidence says: 5 are fan bars or game-day home for a specific team, which is where the crowd and the sound will be.

When are the next College Football games?

Next up: Florida State at Alabama on Sat 19 Sep 2026, 19:30 UTC; LSU at Ole Miss on Sat 19 Sep 2026, 23:30 UTC; Michigan State at Notre Dame on Sat 19 Sep 2026, 23:30 UTC. The season runs from late August to the January playoff, and Saturday kickoffs are stacked from noon to past midnight Eastern, so the venues that matter are the ones that give one school a screen and the sound instead of rotating all day.
