West Virginia State Yellow Jackets Football Tickets

West Virginia State Yellow Jackets football has been buzzing since 1893 in Institute, West Virginia. An HBCU program rooted in resilience, the Jackets built their reputation in the old WVIAC and now chase hardware in the Mountain East Conference, producing All-Americans and record-setting offenses along the way. They captured conference titles in the mid-20th century and continue to develop standouts for the next level. Former NFL Pro Bowler Carl Lee once led the program from the sideline, and the annual Kanawha Valley clash with the University of Charleston reliably raises the stakes each fall. Home crowds funnel into Lakin-Ray Field at Dickerson Stadium for a game-day scene that feels close-knit and loud: grills going before sunrise, alumni tents lining the lots, and a student section that keeps the energy pulsing snap after snap.
