Founded in 1892 in Greeley, Colorado, Northern Colorado Bears football blends small-college grit with Division I ambition. The program’s proudest stretch came under coach Joe Glenn, when the Bears captured back-to-back NCAA Division II national championships in 1996 and 1997 and stacked North Central Conference titles along the way. Alumni like record-setting receiver Vincent Jackson and Harlon Hill winner Corte McGuffey helped shape a tradition of playmakers who punch above their weight.

Home Saturdays at Nottingham Field feel close-knit and electric. Tailgates ring the stadium, the band cuts through the fall air, and a loud student section in blue and gold brings constant noise against a striking Front Range backdrop. Whether it is a Big Sky showdown or a nonconference test, the atmosphere rewards loyal fans and first-timers alike with an authentic Colorado college football experience.
