2023 Football Tickets Now On Sale

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Season tickets, homecoming tailgating tickets, and individual game tickets for the 2023 Savannah State football season are now on sale exclusively at ssuathletics.com/tickets.  
 
Savannah State will play four home games in Theodore A. Wright Stadium this fall. They open the home schedule on Sept. 16 against Clark Atlanta on Faculty/Staff Appreciation/International Night. Kick-off is set for 6 p.m.
 
The next week, the Tigers travel to Brunswick, Georgia for the Coastal City HBCU Classic against Albany State. The Coastal City HBCU Classic is listed as an away game for SSU, but season ticket buyers will get a ticket to the game in their packet.
 
On Sept. 30, Savannah State returns to Theodore A. Wright Stadium to face Edward Waters in a 6 p.m. game on Savannah Day. Following two road games, the Tigers face back-to-back tough home games against the two teams in last year's Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Championship game.
 
SSU will celebrate Homecoming on Oct. 21 against Tuskegee. Kick-off is set for 3 p.m. On Oct. 28, the final home game of the season will be against reigning SIAC Champions Benedict College on Senior/High School Band Night. Kick-off is set for 3 p.m.
 
Season tickets for this year begin at $150.00. Regular season games begin at $20.00 and Homecoming ticket prices start at $25.00. There will be discounts for SSU staff/faculty, seniors, youth, and military personnel with valid I.D.
 
In December of last year, the SIAC moved to a 4-4-2 football scheduling model, dissolving the East and West Divisions for the sport. The move came after the conference added two new members, Edward Waters and Allen.

Each school will play an eight-game conference schedule each year with four primary opponents and rotate through the other eight teams twice during a four-year period.
 
"The new SIAC football scheduling model will help to provide significant advantages for our schools and league," SIAC Commissioner Anthony Holloman said in the press release. "The most important advantage is the benefit we are giving to our student-athletes to have the opportunity to play every school both home and away over a four-year period while decreasing the amount of time spent on the road." 
 
The regular season will conclude with the SIAC Football Championship Game presented by Cricket, that will pit the top two teams against each other based on winning percentage in conference play.
 
Savannah State's primary four rivals will be Albany State, Benedict, Edward Waters and Fort Valley State—teams the Tigers have been playing for over 80 years.
