About Drake Football

Drake football has been part of the university’s athletic tradition since 1893, competing today at the NCAA Division I FCS level in the Pioneer Football League. The program’s history includes a long era as a founding and longtime member of the Missouri Valley Conference, followed by a move to non-scholarship football aligned with the student-athlete academic model, and it has won multiple Pioneer Football League championships since joining the conference. Notable figures connected to Drake’s legacy include Johnny Bright, a dominant 1950s running back whose story remains a landmark moment in college sports and civil rights history, as well as Paul Morrison, a longtime athletics figure and historian associated with the program.

On Saturdays in Des Moines, Drake Stadium delivers an intimate setting with deep roots. The stadium opened in 1925 and holds approximately 14,000 fans, creating a close-to-the-action feel that fits the Bulldogs’ game-day identity. The venue’s iconic visual feature is the historic blue running track, a signature element tied to the Drake Relays and the university’s broader athletic heritage.

In the Pioneer Football League, conference matchups are a big part of the schedule and the ticket demand. Rivalry and high-interest games often include Butler (with the shared “Bulldogs” nickname), plus regular league battles with Dayton, San Diego, and Davidson—programs that have been frequent contenders within the conference. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Drake Bulldogs tickets early is the smartest move.

Drake Bulldogs Seating at Drake Stadium

Drake Stadium offers a range of seating experiences for different budgets, group sizes, and game-day goals, with a primarily single-bowl grandstand setup and seating that wraps around the field and track. If you want a classic college football feel with an up-close view of the action, this is a great building to watch the Bulldogs.

Best Seats for Drake Bulldogs Games

The right seat depends on what kind of game day experience you're after:

• Best value: End-zone seating and upper grandstand sections — a budget-friendly way to take in the full game with plenty of crowd energy
• Closest to the action: Sideline grandstand seats — stay tight to the field and feel the pace of the game
• Best overall view: Sideline seats near midfield / the 50-yard line — strong sightlines to track formations and see plays develop across the field
• For groups and premium experiences: If you’re buying for a group, focus on selecting a block of seats together in the same section so everyone can share the experience

For high-demand conference games and key dates like homecoming, it’s smart to organize group purchases early so you can keep your party together.

Getting Ready for Drake Bulldogs Game Day

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially on game day when campus traffic and entry lines can build closer to kickoff.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service near Drake Stadium gets congested on game days. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
• Arrive early. Gates typically open approximately one hour before kickoff. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand days.
• Public Transit: Drake Stadium is served by Des Moines Area Regional Transit (DART) routes serving the University Avenue corridor, which can be a convenient alternative to driving.
• Plan parking. On-campus and nearby lot parking is available around the Drake University campus on game day—arriving earlier helps you find the most convenient spot.
• Plan your rideshare pickup point. Rideshare drop-off and pickup is available along adjacent campus streets, and post-game pickups near the stadium can take longer than expected.
• Check the bag policy before you go so there are no surprises at the entrance. Clear-bag policies are standard at NCAA venues, with small clear bags and permitted small items typically allowed and larger bags prohibited.
