The Pirates kick off the season on Thursday against NC State in Raleigh, before returning home to host Campbell at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday, September 6 at 6 p.m. Season tickets for all six home games remain available starting as low as $115. Each season ticket holder will receive a commemorative ECU coin as a special gift. Single-game tickets and away game tickets are also on sale, with ECU Athletics already selling out its allotment for the NC State and Coastal Carolina road games.
