McDaniel College Athletics

McDaniel’s Athletics Faculty Mentor Program pairs a sports team with a faculty member who cheers you on and provides advice when you need it. This guarantees close ties between athletics and academic development at the college, so that grit and resilience are in everything we do.

Green Terror blood runs deep, and the loyal connections you make on the Hill will last a lifetime. Alums return annually for alumni games and networking opportunities with current players, giving you the competitive edge when it comes to landing your first (or next) career opportunity.

No one does tailgating like McDaniel, and that’s been true for more than a century. We have a national reputation for our one-of-a-kind drive-in gamedays at Kenneth R. Gill Stadium.

• The Weather Channel named McDaniel the No. 6 tailgating school in the nation. Our famous drive-in stadium and passionate fans put McDaniel among six Division I universities in the “Top Tailgaters” show, the only non-Division I school recognized.
• Southern Living magazine named McDaniel one of the top 20 tailgaters in the U.S.
• The Daily Meal named McDaniel a Best College Tailgate. McDaniel ranks at No. 8 and is the only non-Division I school to make the list.

All students join the tradition by making the most of gameday — attendance is free for students and community members. And Greek organizations have a long history of painting the grass bowl around the stadium, competing for recognition of “Best Letters on the Hill,” awarded annually at Homecoming.
