Howard Bison Football

I graduated from Hampton Institute in 1981 and love my Pirates!!! We have beat them for the past 14 years!!!

Howard Bison football is a great event. We attended the homecoming game versus Morgan State, and we were treated to music and dancing by both schools' bands. The home team prevailed in a close athletic contest, and the sell-out crowd loved every minute of it. We bought reserved seats, which turned out to be in the visitor's side, and we were guided right to where we belonged, across the aisle from the more-crowded general admission benches. Note that at the end of the first half all of the seats become open (this is announced by ushers toward the end of the second quarter), so hold onto yours. I will complain about a lack of sanitary facilities (port-o-johns under the replay scoreboard) but it's a small issue in my mind. Concessions were terrific and worth waiting in line for. I recommend that you take the DC Metro to the Shaw/Howard stop and walk up to campus, as parking is a challenge, but it's like that anywhere in the District. Highly recommended for college football fans!

The football game & atmosphere were great. The fish fry was delicious. Parking was terrible so I'd recommend using Uber or a taxi.

Game was excellent, but the stadium needs work as well as the entrance and exit into the game in order to allow ease of access to the seating areas.

It was a great game!! Nail biting down to the last plays in overtime!

Event was over sold and I did not get my assigned seat.

A great game and event! I loved ever minute of it.

I paid for reserve seats and was prevented from entering the area where my seat was located and told that the section was already filled. Consequently, I paid for the most expensive seats and had to sit in seats that would have costed far less. Naturally, I was very disappointed.

We had a wonderful time a the Howard Homecoming game. It was a well-organized weekend withgreat food and great fun!

5 Stars....Yardfest 10, Football Game 10, Parties (Indulge + Cotton Club), Overall 10!

The venue parking was \u2018not available , street parking only. The city police did not display a willing to serve attitude. When we stopped to asked questions we were made to feel as though we should know the answer. However the University Police were very helpful and accommodating. When purchasing tickets online, I would have liked to have the option to purchase \u2018home tickets opposed to \u2018visitor tickets. Most of the action (performances) were facing the other side.

The atmosphere was amazing; the fans were terrific, the bands were electrifying, and even the food was first class, However, the game was not at all entertaining. Both offences play soft. I took 6 young men, ages 13 to 16, and they stated that they did enjoy the outing.

This was the worst game I had been to in life! The school had zero school spirit and the team were playing like they were playing backyard football. THe band was the only good thing.

Very good exeperience. Ticketmaster is always my first choice for event ticket purchasing.

The event was a great revival of an old and revered rivalry between two monarch Historical Black Universities. After a forty year hiatus, the rivalry which commenced in 1894 was renewed.

Definitely enjoyed myself!! Great company....food...and game!!!

The game was great, if you were a Rattler!!! Beat Howard to sleep. Saw a lot of friends that I went to school with. It was great!!!! GO RATTLERS!!!!!

the football game was very good. the marching bands and the half-time show and the battle of the bands at the the end of the football game was fantastic!

I'll never buy tickets for a Howard football game and pick them up on game day again! For one thing, the security guards and facility personnel that I spoke to had absolutely no idea where the will call window was. I was lucky to get direction from a friendly and well informed fan. Then, my son and I had to wait in line for twenty minutes to get my ticket. After getting my ticket we had to wait another 15 minutes to get into the game. There should more than two ticket agents and one gate to get people into the game. After we got, in the game was great. It was a sunny day, the bands were great, and the crowd was lively. Too bad Howard couldn't recruit any talent!

Enjoyed the game, especially seeing Hampton beat Howard (as usual). Great rivalry and good rapport between the Hampton fans and Howard fans. My wife is the Hampton Alumni.

I will never pay again to attend a Bison football game. Very displeased and disappointed in the organization.HU is truly not what it used to be! I was also upset that the police department and campus police allowed con artists/street gamblers to pester/harass students and those attending the campus events.

First of all the game was probably one of the worst I have ever attended. If I didn't know, I would have thought NC A&T was the home team and they ruled the halftime performance. Next, I purchased 2 tickets at a higher rate because they were reserved seat and I thought I had seats that I paid for. I was totally wrong because there is no such thing as reserve seating at Greene Stadium. The next issue was with the rest rooms. I have never gone to a football game at the College level that had port-a-potties until the game I attended at Howard. I attend High School football games and they have restrooms plus I served in Iraq for 1 year on two occasions and I had a rest instead of a port-a-potty. In closing, the event had to one of most unorganized ones I have ever attended and I doubt I will attend another at the location..

I had so much fun even though it was raining. It was good to be back on campus and enjoying myself after graduating in 1988.

Excellent time at the game. Will definitely attend next year.

Wet and rainy but always a great atmosphere when I get to go to a game at Howard University!

HU and NIU played a great game. On the edge of your seat, type of game. I will go to the Howard University's homecoming next year.

Purchased tickets in advance.There was no "will call" at the event to pick up tickets. Everyone was allowed in the game FREE! Total waste of my $51.00 and some change. This is certainly not the way to sponsor an event. Very disappointed!!!

Took my 12th grade son to his first HBCU visit and homecoming. The game (along with the step show and Yardfest the day before and the parade on game day) was a great experience, but seating was a problem. We went very very early because I had read that the seats are oversold, and they were. People with tickets couldn't get a seat on the Howard University side and were not happy, lots of people had to stand, however we didn't. Overall it was a good experience, but my son did point out that the crowd didn't really seem into the game at all, until halftime.

The best Homecoming as always! Must attend every year!!!

Several hundred people were without a seat at the game. Most spots security was bugging us to move. Finally after halftime, which was spectacular, of course, we were able to sit down because people started leaving.

oversold tickets! no seats available! we left early

Good spirit and competition from years past to now, and it was good to re-live the hype.

The game was excellent! The energy in the stadium was great.

This was probably one of the most exciting football games between two rivals I've seen in a while. The Aggie crowd was pumped up on the visitors side and I really a great time. I look forward to next years game and the championships games before that.

The seating could have been better handled by the staff. Entrance could have been better handled by the staff.

I had a great time cheering for my alumni, NCCU Eagles.

It was a good game! Of course Howard won! And Laz Alzono was there...nuff said

Sunshine... great friends...tailgating...amazing view. What could make a Homecoming Game better? A WIN!! Congratulations Bison! a 21-20 clinch win against Morgan State!! YOU KNOW!!

Game was fanastic. However, I was unable to sit on the Howard side because apparently, the tickets were overbooked.

I loved everything about the game. The fraternities and the sororities were there doing their calls and sitting in big groups. Everyone was very friendly and excited for the game. There was also great food to choose from and the even had fried Oreos which were delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and best of all, Bisons won!!! I would definitely go again next year.

It was my son's first HBCU experience and it was priceless. The parade, game, and the spirit from HU and Morgan State students, alumni and fans were GREAT!!!

I had an amazing time with my daughter and we can't wait until homecoming next year.

I attended this game with my family. I really didn't get to see the game because the stadium was packed. I think they oversold the game. In addition, the event security wouldn't let us into the stadium because the away team had to come out. We had to wait for 20 minutes for this to happen! We could've been in the stadium and found a place far from the away team in that time. Anyway I'm glad I persevered because after halftime the A&T band performed for most of the 2nd half of the show. Howard's band was alright.

Game went into overtime with Howard winning 35-28. One of the more exciting football games I've attended in some time. Game could have gone in either direction. Both teams were exciting to watch.

Absolutely loved the game and my Howard Bison!!!!!

Always make time for a HU Homecoming. The years go by quickly so be sure to visit with old classmates and make new friends.

HU Homecoming a must. Get there early though seats are hard to come by. You will be standing otherwise.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go. The team played great and both marching bands were spectacular. NC A&T's marching band came ready to put on a show. The entire game was live and full of excitement. Lance Gross made an appearance and I was able to get a picture of AND with him. I was completely satisfied with this event and the weather was perfect. I can't wait to go again next year. HU, U-KNOW!

The Homecoming game was phenomenal. The game was back and forth. It went into overtime and we finally won a game.

This was one of the best football games I've attended. It was a great game and festive atmosphere.
