The biggest difference is that at Homecoming there is an alumni band. There are also a number of alumni reunion events that weekend and the alumni attending those events generally go to the game. There are also events that take place on campus during the week of the game but I think that it is de-emphasized from where it used to be.

For the most part, it is just like any other football game. In the days when they couldn’t fill the stadium it was a way to market a game which is why it is never scheduled for a marquee matchup.
