Don't miss the start of a new era of Roanoke College Football. Catch the team's first home game at 2 p.m. Sept. 8 in Salem Stadium against Hampden-Sydney College (JV).
 
Admission is free to celebrate the new team's first season. Here are a few other game day details to know:

  • Tailgaters are welcome. Salem Stadium's parking lot will be open. Spaces can be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Free shuttles will run from campus to the stadium for students, faculty and staff.
  • Stadium parking is free. Our game day will coincide with a Salem Red Sox game so drivers are encouraged to be careful and courteous. But, with 4,000 parking lot spaces available, everyone can be confident of getting a spot.
  • Salem Stadium's clear bag policy will apply to games. More info on that and other details can be found here.

This season marks Roanoke College's first return to the gridiron since 1942. Supporters backed a bold fundraising campaign to relaunch football, add competitive cheer and introduce marching band on campus.

The football team is debuting as a club sport in its first year before advancing to ODAC varsity status next year. Well-known coach Bryan Stinespring is at the team's helm.
