East Carolina Pirates Football Football Tickets
Born in 1932 in Greenville, North Carolina, East Carolina Pirates football brings big-time Saturdays to Bagwell Field at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. ECU has stacked multiple conference crowns, including Southern Conference titles in the 1970s and back-to-back Conference USA championships in 2008 and 2009, and capped the 1991 season with a Peach Bowl triumph over NC State. Program icons range from quarterback Jeff Blake, who steered that Peach Bowl run, to speedster Chris Johnson, whose records still echo through Pirate Nation.
Game day in Greenville is an experience: tailgates that start early, The Boneyard student section roaring to “Purple Haze,” and the No Quarter flag rising for the fourth quarter. In-state showdowns with NC State and North Carolina add extra charge, but every kickoff feels electric in purple and gold, where passionate fans turn vivid moments into lifelong memories.
