Tennessee State Tigers Football Tickets

Founded in 1912 in Nashville, the Tennessee State Tigers have built one of college football’s premier HBCU legacies. Under trailblazing coaches like John Merritt, TSU captured multiple black college national championships and added Ohio Valley Conference titles, sending the program to the national stage.

Icons such as Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Richard Dent and quarterback Joe Gilliam turned Big Blue into a pipeline to the pros. Each season centers on tradition-rich showdowns, from the Southern Heritage Classic in Memphis to the annual John Merritt Classic in Nashville. Game day is a celebration: tailgates lining Jefferson Street, a charged student section and the renowned Aristocrat of Bands turning Nissan Stadium and on-campus Hale Stadium into a showcase of sound and spirit. If you’re chasing the roar of Big Blue, this is where memories get loud.
