Panda Game day is typically dreaded by area residents, with seven arrests made due to partying last year.
However, to curtail some of the shenanigans, the downtown university hosted a pre-game tailgate for the past four years.
For the first time, the universities are co-hosting a post-game party from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., also held at 90 University, featuring performances by Jakean, Jessia and Felix Cartal. The event is BYOB, open to students from any post-secondary institution so long as they have valid student ID. “ ends at 11 p.m. so I don’t know how much longer people party, so we’ll see,” Paredes said. “But I think everyone will want to come here. And they allow alcohol, which is what people want … so I think it’s a good balance.”
As of 12:30 p.m., Ottawa police said they had nothing to report in regards to the day’s events or in terms of arrests. “When it all started, we had the game itself, but then there were so many pre-parties in Sandy Hill so this idea of a tailgate came out as a mitigation strategy to try to draw the students into an organized event,” Ausman said. “Every year we’ve built on it and it’s created more of a tradition with the students.”
