ECU Football Quick Reminder Guide

GREENVILLE, N.C. – ECU Athletics and the Pirate Club can't wait to see Pirate Fans in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium this season. The home opener is set for Saturday, August 31 against Norfolk State at 6 p.m. (ET) and is sponsored by Optimum.

Here are a couple of reminders everyone needs to know:

On Saturday, all parking lots will open at 12 p.m. The ECU Athletics Ticket Office will open at 3 p.m. Gates to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium open at 4 p.m.
All concession stands are cashless to help improve the gameday experience. The faster you get through the lines, the more football you can watch.
Beer and wine can be purchased at 24 locations around the stadium, and you are allowed to purchase two beverages per person per transaction.
If the heat index ever reaches 85 degrees during the game, the ECU Heat Management Plan will be implemented. This plan calls for an increase in EMS equipment and personnel at the game, multiple cooling fans available in the upper concourse of the stadium, increased amounts of bottled water for service groups working at the game and an increase in the cold bottled drink inventory (including water) at concession stands. Two air-conditioned cooling stations will be located on the lower concourse while additional water and soda kiosks will be available around the stadium. Two additional two-person EMS teams will staff the cooling stations. Patrons will be allowed to bring one 20-ounce unopened bottle of water into the stadium.
The Carl and Connie Rogers Pirate Club Level is open to all Pirate Club members. Just show your membership card and bring a friend.
94.3 The Game will not only bring you the game but will be broadcasting from outside the game with special guests on the pregame show.
