NCCU Football Hosts Spring Game Tonigjht

DURHAM, North Carolina  --  The North Carolina Central University football program will host its “Maroon vs. Gray” spring game on Friday, April 12 at 6 p.m. inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium on the NCCU campus. Admission is free.

For many years, NCCU’s spring game has featured the offensive and defensive units going head-to-head with a spattering of special teams play.  On Friday evening, the Eagles will be divided into two teams to provide fans with more of a game-like experience.

The Eagles will begin warm-ups and go through position drills at 6 p.m., with game kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

NCCU is coming off of its first winning season since 2007, as the Eagles posted an overall record of 6-5 in 2012, with a MEAC record of 5-3.

The Eagles open their 12-game 2013 schedule with the “Bull City Gridiron Classic” at Duke on Aug. 31. The first of six NCCU home games will take place on Sept. 7 versus Saint Augustine’s.

Season tickets are on sale now for only $105, an $80 savings off of the value of a reserved seat for each home game. For complete details about season ticket specials, visit www.NCCUEaglePride.com or call the NCCU Ticket Office at (919) 530-5170.
