Despite the rain and cold, the George Mason University community braved the conditions to attend the culmination of this year's "There's No Place Like Mason" Homecoming week on Saturday. 

Event goers took part in the annual parade, block party and basketball game. In front of a packed crowd, the Patriots defeated the Old Dominion Monarchs 62-45.

Did the rain keep you away? Fear not, C2M's George Yanez was on scene and captured footage of the rainy, but Mason spirited day.
