From the open-ended, horseshoe-style bowl at SHI Stadium to the Scarlet Walk into the stands, Rutgers football brings a Big Ten atmosphere to Busch Campus in Piscataway. Whether you’ve followed the program for years or you’re planning your first game, Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football tickets put you inside the tradition known as “The Birthplace of College Football.”
This page covers everything you need — from choosing the right seats at SHI Stadium to knowing what to expect when you arrive on game day.
Rutgers football traces its roots to 1869, when Rutgers and Princeton played the first-ever intercollegiate football game—a moment that earned the program its “The Birthplace of College Football” identity. Today, the Scarlet Knights compete at the NCAA Division I FBS level in the Big Ten Conference (joining in 2014), carrying a long history that includes Rutgers’ claim of a share of the 1869 national title as the winner of that first game. Across eras, notable Rutgers figures include Ray Rice, Devin McCourty, Jason McCourty, Mohamed Sanu, Kenny Britt, and legendary Rutgers alumnus Paul Robeson.
A modern high point for the program came under head coach Greg Schiano, the architect of Rutgers’ mid-2000s rise (and the current head coach, returning in 2020 for his second tenure). That era included an 11–2 season in 2006—the best in program history—capped by a Texas Bowl victory, along with bowl wins in the 2005 Insight Bowl, the PapaJohns.com Bowl, and the 2011 Pinstripe Bowl. One of the most celebrated moments in Rutgers lore is the 2006 nationally televised Thursday night win over then-No. 3 Louisville.
Rutgers plays home games at SHI Stadium on Rutgers’ Busch Campus in Piscataway, New Jersey. Opened in 1994 and expanded/renovated in 2009, the stadium holds approximately 52,000 fans. On game day, the experience is shaped by the Sea of Scarlet in the stands, the pregame Scarlet Walk, and the sound of the Marching Scarlet Knights performing “The Bells Must Ring” and other Rutgers spirit songs. The program’s “Keep Chopping” rallying cry and tributes connected to Eric LeGrand and “bELieve” (No. 52) are meaningful touchstones for the Rutgers community.
As a Big Ten program, Rutgers’ schedule naturally creates high-demand matchups—especially regional games with Penn State, and geographically close Big Ten battles with Maryland. Rutgers vs. Princeton remains a historic rivalry rooted in 1869, even though it’s not a regular series today, and the program also has a history of regional non-conference games such as against Army. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football tickets early is the smartest move.
