Thank you for supporting Embry-Riddle Athletics and our nearly 400 student-athletes. Over the past 28 years, you have cheered us on in your brightest blue & gold, and your involvement has helped us grow into a 21-sport, nationally recognized NCAA Division II athletic program. There has truly never been a better time to be an Eagle! As NCAA members participating in the highly competitive Sunshine State Conference, we need you now more than ever! This year’s season ticket campaign is your first look at the exciting year ahead. Your contribution helps directly fund scholarships for our student-athletes and provides our program with the best resources necessary to compete at this level. We encourage “The Team Behind The Team,” our Eagle Athletic Association, to purchase season tickets and join us as this New Era Begins!

“One of my favorite things about being an Embry-Riddle studentathlete is that there is always an incredible amount of support. Coaches, teachers, athletic staff and people within our community are always willing to offer guidance and encouragement. It helps me to stay dedicated as a student, person and player.”
“The support we get from our fans is what makes the Eagle Nation so special! The energy and excitement they bring to each game is why Embry-Riddle basketball games are so exciting. Our incredible fans make all the difference in a game day experience!”
