The Mississippi State University Student Association has announced that Bulldog Bash will take place on Friday, Sept. 15, leading up to the SEC home opener against the LSU Tigers. The 2017 edition of Bulldog Bash will take place in downtown Starkville at the intersection of Jackson Street and Main Street. The decision was made to move to this location because of the recent growth of Bulldog Bash and safety concerns of previous locations.
Bulldog Bash was creaed in 1999 to help kick off SEC football play for the MSU Bulldogs and is designed to bring the university, student body, alumni and the larger community together in one night of fun. Since its inception 18 years ago, Bulldog Bash has strived to be the most successful student-led event in the southeastern region. In its initial year, it drew a crowd of around 2,000 and has grown to host crowds exceeding 30,000.
