Thousands of people gathered before CMU's Homecoming game to celebrate Oct. 16, 2021, around Kelly/Shorts Stadium. 

Central Michigan University is holding homecoming activities every day this week. If students wish to participate in team-based events, they must register their team online by 5 p.m. on Oct. 3. Teams will compete in various activities throughout the week from which they can earn points.

There are four sections of competition: the Maroon Cup for residence halls, the Golden Goblet for student organizations and other teams, the Greek Goblet for Greek Life and an open division for groups of friends. The team with the most points by the end of Homecoming Week will win their section's cup.
