What to do on Game Days (Purdue Edition)
Entrance to Purdue's campus.
#1 Your first stop should be The Triple XXX Restaurant. One of the most popular places to grab a bite in town. You can't go wrong with a great burger and home made root beer!
#2 Next find your parking spot. We parked on the lot by the Welcome Center on Grant Street. Only 10 dollars and close to downtown and campus.
#3 If you are looking to grab brew before the game the Harry's Chocolate Shop is a fan favorite. It will be busy so if you are looking for a place that isn't crowded you have several options within a block.
#4 Take a walk on Purdue's campus! So much to see but don't miss Neil Armstrong's Hall of Engineering! (more info below)
#5 Head to Ross-Ade Stadium!
