Bucknell Bison Football has been part of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania since 1883, and the program still plays with the pride of its roots. The Bison own one of college football’s signature early moments, winning the inaugural Orange Bowl 26-0 over Miami on January 1, 1935. Clarke Hinkle set the standard for toughness here and the trophy case reflects it, from the 1960 Lambert Cup to a Patriot League championship in 1996. Annual league battles with Lafayette and Lehigh keep fall Saturdays circled across campus.

Game day centers on Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, an intimate 13,100-seat setting opened in 1924 and celebrated at 100 years in 2024. The student section belts out Ray Bucknell, alumni pack lively tailgates at the north practice field, and families fill the concourse. Join the herd and feel the Bison energy live.
