2016 NCAA DIVISION II FOOTBALL PLAYOFF CENTRAL
No. 4 Texas A&M-Commerce Lions vs. No. 5 Colorado Mesa Mavericks
Saturday, November 19 | Memorial Stadium | 2 p.m. (CST) |
Wow! For the first time since 1991, Lion Football will host an NCAA Division II Playoff Game.
This is your one stop information source for all things related to Lion Football's second consecutive NCAA Division II Playoff berth. We have attempted to provide as much initial clarity as possible, and we will update information in the coming days as we have more specific communication with the NCAA.Â
PLEASE NOTE: this is an official NCAA Championship event being hosted on our campus, NOT a traditional home game.Â
There will be more of a neutral game day feel (video board, public address announcements, etc.).

Existing season ticket holders (STH) and Lion Champions Fund (LCF) donors have priority to retain their current seat locations. Ticket prices are determined by our NCAA championship bid process. The
deadline for reserving your priority seat locations will be Wednesday at 10 a.m. At that time, any west reserved seats not claimed will be offered to our Lion Champions Fund donor waiting list.
As a special incentive, if you purchase tickets online before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, you will be entered to win Under Armour/Lion Athletics postseason merchandise giveaways later this week.
If you have questions about tickets, please call (903) 468-8756 or (903) 886-5568. If you reach our ticket sales recording, we appreciate your patience and will return your call within 30 minutes during normal operating hours (8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.).
How many tickets can I purchase?
There is no limit to the number of tickets you can order. HOWEVER, your PRIORITY consideration for seat locations is equal to the number of season tickets you currently hold. All other tickets requested above your season ticket quantity will be fulfilled after all priority requests are allocated. This may result in all seats being located together or seats above your ticket priority being located in a different section.
I would like to purchase tickets and donate them to a church or youth group. Is this possible?
Absolutely! In addition to a wonderful sense of pride and community fulfillment, you are also helping us sell out of our playoff allotment. Please email
alex.cook@tamuc.edu with any questions about your donation.
How may I pick-up tickets I purchase?
When you place your ticket order through the Lion Athletics Ticket Office, you will have three options:
1. E-TICKET
When your order is complete, we can email you a PDF of your tickets.
2. WILL CALL - ADVANCE PICK UPÂ
You may pick up your tickets at Field House between 8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Thursday this week (You will receive an email when ready if you choose this option).
3. WILL CALL - ON SITEÂ
You can pick up your tickets at the West Side Will Call booth at Memorial Stadium on game day. Ticket office at Memorial Stadium will open at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.
HOSPITALITY
Is there tailgating?
YES! Very similar to our home tailgate parties, you may reserve your tailgate spot by emailing External Operations Coordinator Matt Bentley (
matthew.bentley@tamuc.edu) to reserve your spot. If existing season tailgate spots are not claimed by 5 p.m. Wednesday, they will be made available to LCF donors and then the general public.
