Colonial Athletic Association Tickets

The Colonial Athletic Association is an NCAA Division I FCS conference. Founded in 1979, it was originally the ECAC South Basketball League. The CAA was initially made up of only southern schools. Four schools from the Northeast region joined the conference in the early 2000s. This helped to create a larger conference with more balanced competition. One thing that ties all CAA schools together is geography: they're all located on the East Coast of the United States. The CAA currently has 10 full members, mostly private schools. The conference also has 10 associate members, including large public universities like the University of Rhode Island, the University of Maine and UMASS Amherst. This conference sponsors several sports, including football. This is a fairly recent development. In 2005, Northeastern joined the CAA, becoming the sought-after sixth team that made football sponsorship possible.

Teams play at venues like Zable Stadium at William & Mary. This historic stadium dates to 1934 and can seat 12,672 spectators. The Towson Tigers play at Johnny Unitas Stadium. Named for one of Baltimore's best-loved football heroes, this venue seats just over 11,000 fans. The James Madison Dukes play at Bridgeforth Stadium. With a capacity of 24,877, this is the largest stadium in the Colonial Athletic Association. Built in 1975, Bridgeforth has been expanded several times over the years and has a FieldTurf playing surface.

What are some in-conference CAA rivalries?

One of the most notable rivalries in CAA football is between Albany and Stony Brook. Both teams are based in New York. The rivalry dates to 1995 and is known locally as the Empire Clash. The winner takes home the Golden Apple Trophy. As a newer rivalry, this matchup has some heat that older rivalries have lost. William & Mary's rivalry with Richmond is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It dates to 1898, and the winner claims the Capital Cup for the year.

Who are some of the all-time greats of Colonial Athletic Association football?
