Trivia Answer
As far as anyone know the University of Missouri played a football game in 1911 in which alumni were invited back to watch. This was for a long time considered the first homecoming. However, other records record such an event in 1909 in Waco, Texas between Southwest State and Baylor, Northern Illinois University records a celebration in 1903.
