Starting on March 1, ODU Football season tickets will go on sale for the 2022 season, and will be available for 2021 tickets holders to renew their seats. The 2022 season will be one of the most anticipated campaigns in ODU Football history, after the Monarchs won their last five games of the regular-season and made an appearance in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Fans can also look forward to the return of the Virginia Tech Hokies to S.B. Ballard Stadium in 2022. This will be Virginia Tech's first game in Norfolk since 2018, when the Monarchs defeated the Hokies, 49-35, in front of a sellout crowd. The Monarchs also welcome a second in-state team who appeared in a bowl game in 2021, the Liberty Flames. Purchase your season tickets today to ensure your seat for these two highly-anticipated home games.
