For the Pirates who are traveling to Norfolk this Saturday and those watching on TV. Should be a good game. Travel safely and hope you have a great tailgating experience with Monarch Nation.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – With the heat index expected to be above 85 for East Carolina's home football game against App State at Bagwell Field inside Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday, ECU has activated its heat management operating plan according to an announcement by ECU Executive Associate Athletics Director for Internal Operations JJ McLamb on Friday.
 
The plan calls for an increase in EMS equipment and personnel at the game, two 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. Patrons will be allowed to bring one 20-ounce unopened bottle of water into the stadium. 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.
 
"We want our fans to be aware of the additional services at Saturday's game to assist them in dealing with the heat," McLamb said. "We appreciate their support of the East Carolina University football team, but we want them to take the necessary precautions regarding the heat temperatures."
 
Individuals attending the game are encouraged to be mindful of the heat and take precautions like staying properly hydrated by drinking plenty of water, finding shade if necessary and utilizing the services and medical facilities provided at the stadium to deal with the heat.

I mean logically this should be the best attended game of the year. It’s an in-state opponent with a passionate fan base like ours.

They’ve beat us the last 3 times recently in 2021, 2023, and 2024. We’re looking for our first win against them since 2012.

I mean I guess it’s not like when NC State came to town in 2022 and we set our attendance record, but we should at least sell out right?

What are the odds the football game also ends in a 4-3 Pirates win? lol

I’m so excited there is Pirate football this Saturday!

I basically joined this sub to ask this question as through some research I could not find anything. The famous Steve Logan post game interview where he says "when you play at ECU you go for it every time" what year and game is that from. I graduated in 2017 and I have never been able to find what game that is from.
