NCCU Ultimate Homecoming Football: Eagles vs. William & Mary

NCCU Athletics hosts the football centerpiece of Ultimate Homecoming, with the Eagles taking on CAA opponent William & Mary at O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham. The Sound Machine marching band brings a halftime showdown, the yard fills with a packed alumni tailgate, and Divine Nine organizations turn out in full force in the stands. It's billed as the biggest tailgate day of NCCU's year, drawing HBCU alumni, homecoming families, and football fans alike. Kickoff is at 1 p.m., and first-timers should plan to reach the tailgate lot by 10 a.m. to secure parking before the crowds build.
