In addition to having one of the coolest nicknames in college football, the Campbell Fighting Camels are in the process of taking the FCS level by storm. As one of the youngest programs in the country, it’s still possible for fans to find cheap Campbell football tickets. But that may not be the case forever. Since playing their inaugural season in 2008, the Fighting Camels have grown in leaps and bounds. With the program on the verge of something special, there is a growing demand for last-minute Campbell football tickets.

Making a Comeback

Technically, Campbell had a football team from 1925 to 1950. However, the program was discontinued for over 50 years. In 2008, the Fighting Camels were brought back to life under head coach Dale Steele. The caveat was that Campbell didn’t offer any scholarships as members of the Pioneer Conference. In 10 seasons competing in the Pioneer Conference, the Fighting Camels had just two winning seasons.

Ready or Not, Here We Come

During Campbell’s stint in the Pioneer Conference, longtime NFL safety Mike Minter took over for Steele as the team’s head coach. in 2018, Minter led the Fighting Camels into the Big South Conference, a huge step forward for Campbell but one that enabled the school to offer football scholarships. Despite the program still being in its infancy, the Fighting Camels more than held their own during their first few seasons in the Big South. With a young coach like Minter and a passionate fanbase that fills the stadium to capacity for every home game, Campbell has a promising future on the gridiron. College football fans everywhere should be fascinated to watch the Fighting Camels continue to grow and improve in the years to come.
