Howard University Athletics Announces 125 Years of Football, Season Tickets, Camps and Clinics

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the spring semester wrapping up and student-athletes preparing for graduation, the Howard University Department of Athletics is preparing for a number of camps and clinics, football season ticket sales, and the 125th football fundraising campaign.

Nearly 26 years after Howard University opened its doors, collegiate football was established and HU welcomed a new kind of student to “The Mecca.” Today, 125 years later, Howard football boasts a legacy of historic wins and football standouts. In celebration and in honor of 125 years of Howard Football, the program has launched early bird season football tickets for $125. With each season ticket purchase, season ticket holders will receive reserved seating, discounted Circle City Classic fan pack rates, the homecoming VIP tent experience and homecoming parking. Additionally, fans can purchase vintage helmets ($250) and jerseys ($150). There is also the ongoing option of making a donation in support of the 125th football anniversary fund.
