Founded in 1902 in Hampton, Virginia, the Hampton Pirates bring HBCU pride to Armstrong Stadium, a 12,000-seat home where The Marching Force sets the tone and tailgates buzz from early morning. The intimate sightlines, tradition-laced pregame and a student section that never lets up create a game-day atmosphere that feels close and electric.

On the field, Hampton’s résumé runs deep: 19 conference crowns including 14 in the CIAA and five MEAC titles in 1997, 1998, 2004, 2005 and 2006, plus multiple Black College National Championships and a Heritage Bowl title. Legendary coach Joe Taylor elevated the program during those championship runs, and NFL standouts like Justin Durant, Kendall Langford and return ace Jerome Mathis kept the Pirates’ name in highlight reels. Grab your blue and white and be part of it.
