First home game of 2021 a rematch of 2013 FCS National Championship game

This weekend will be a big one for Towson University football fans as the Tigers host
North Dakota State on Saturday, Sept. 18 at 6 p.m in a rematch of the 2013 NCAA FCS
National Championship.

The Bison have won eight of the last 10 NCAA FCS National Championships, including
in 2013 when the Bison topped TU, 28-7. This weekend will be the first time the Tigers
will host the Bison at home and the first regular season meeting between the two since
1983 in Fargo, North Dakota.

The game will be one of the biggest regular season matchups in Johnny Unitas® Stadium
history, and Tigers coach Rob Ambrose is ready to welcome one of the premier programs
in college football to campus.

“North Dakota State is pretty much like saying Alabama or Clemson is coming to campus,”
Ambrose says. “They have won more national championships in the last 10 years than
any school in any sport, and they are coming to play here.

“[The path to] winning the national championship goes through North Dakota State.
I’m ready for our students to tailgate, have fun, be smart then come in and raise
some hell.”

Parking lots will open three hours before kickoff. Those not able to attend the game
can watch online through FloSports or listen at TowsonTigers.com.

Here is some key information to know before coming to cheer the Tigers to victory.

Students, faculty and staff receive free entry to all TU-sponsored sporting events.
This year it’s easier than ever to get tickets through the Towson Gameday app.

Parking Lots 6 and 7 will be permit parking only and allow tailgating for permit holders.
The Osler Medical lot will host permit parking, but tailgating is prohibited. Lots

And before the game, there will be a performance of the Black National Anthem, “Lift
Every Voice and Sing,” followed by a performance of the U.S. National Anthem. There will then be a special
military flyover for the game.

spirit can order their Tiger gear through the Shop Towson Tigers website.
