Home Coming Banner

ALBANY – The Albany State University Golden Rams will host the Clark Atlanta University Panthers for Homecoming 2018 on Saturday, Oct. 20. Kick off begins at 2 p.m. at Hugh Mills Stadium in Albany.

The football game was originally scheduled to be played at the ASU Stadium. However, significant damage to the field and facility caused by Hurricane Michael prompted the relocation.

“Although we will not be able to compete on our home field, we are excited about competing at Hugh Mills Stadium,” said ASU Athletics Director Sherie Gordon. “It will be a flashback to when it was the home field for our Golden Rams. We look forward to our students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community packing Hugh Mills to support the home team.”

Tickets

Game tickets are on sale for $20 for general tickets and $5 for youth ages 5-17 and visiting college students with valid ID. ASU Athletics will provide 1,000 complimentary tickets to Southwest Georgia residents in the 32 counties impacted by Hurricane Michael. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis the day of the game. Those who have previously purchased tickets for the Homecoming match up should bring them to Saturday’s game. Please visit www.asuramstickets.com to purchase tickets.
