ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — Viking fans, get ready! Elizabeth City State University has released ticket pricing, parking details, and tailgating information for the 2025 football season. Alumni, students, and supporters are encouraged to plan for an exciting slate of home games — including the Down East Viking Classic and Homecoming — with new game day experiences designed to enhance convenience and accessibility.
 
The 2025 season will once again feature mobile ticketing, allowing fans to enter Roebuck Stadium quickly and securely.
