Rutgers Football Tickets
Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football Tickets
See New Jersey’s premier college team with Rutgers football tickets from TicketSmarter. Rutgers’ claim to fame comes from competing in the first-ever intercollegiate football game. Their 1869 match against Princeton looked more like rugby than modern-day football. Players were allowed to kick and bat the ball with their fists. Nevertheless, it sparked a movement across the United States. The Scarlet Knights got their nickname from these early contests. In order to distinguish themselves from their opponents, Rutgers players wore scarlet kerchiefs on their heads.
Rutgers was a member of the Middle Three Conference along with Lafayette College and Lehigh University. The three schools were also members of the Middle Atlantic Conference but competed in a round-robin among the schools each season. Following their participation in the MAC, the Scarlet Knights joined the Big East Conference. Aside from their shared championship with Princeton during the 1869 season, Rutgers took home their first conference championship in 2012. They finished 9-4 and shared the Big East title with Cincinnati, Louisville, and Syracuse. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights were invited to the Russell Athletic Bowl at the conclusion of the 2012 season.
The Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten Conference in 2014. Fans can purchase Rutgers football tickets for matchups with Penn State and Ohio State. During their first Big Ten season, Coach Kyle Flood helped lead Rutgers to a victory against North Carolina at the Quick Lane Bowl. The Scarlet Knights went on to experience a bowl game drought after enjoying appearances in nine of them from 2005 through 2014. In an attempt to reignite that success, the school brought back former head coach Greg Schiano in December 2019. Schiano’s first tenure with the school resulted in six bowl appearances, winning five out of the six.
