McNeese State Cowboys Football Tickets

Founded in 1940 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the McNeese State Cowboys have built a proud FCS tradition. With more than a dozen Southland Conference championships and trips to the Division I-AA national title game in 1997 and 2002, the Pokes consistently punch above their weight. Names like Kerry Joseph and first-rounder Leonard Smith echo through program history, alongside winning head coach Matt Viator.

Game day at Cowboy Stadium, known around town as The Hole, is a celebration of blue and gold. Tailgates fire up early, the student section keeps the noise churning, and the intimacy of the bowl traps every chant. The annual Battle of the Border against Lamar ups the stakes along I-10, turning Lake Charles into a rivalry stage. Ready to join the roar?
