BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh football season tickets are now on sale to the general public. During May, season ticket renewal forms were sent out to those who previously held tickets, and now all Lehigh football fans have the opportunity to purchase a package that includes tickets to all seven regular season home games. New this season, Lehigh Athletics introduces four mini-plan options, each of which guarantees tickets to the 145th meeting between Lehigh and archrival Lafayette.
For $95, fans receive a chairback reserved seat to all seven home games, while for $75 fans can purchase general admission season tickets. The only way to ensure tickets to the annual Lehigh – Lafayette contest is to buy season tickets.
New this season, Lehigh Athletics is offering four mini plans, each of which includes a ticket to the Lehigh – Lafayette game. Included among the plans are the: Ivy League Plan, which includes the Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Lafayette games for $60, the New England Plan, which includes the Central Connecticut State, Harvard, Yale and Lafayette games for $60, the Patriot League Plan, which includes the Georgetown, Holy Cross and Lafayette games for $50 and the Monthly Plan, which includes the Princeton, Yale and Lafayette games for $50.
All Alumni that do not purchase season tickets or a Mini Plan may place a request for tickets to the Lehigh – Lafayette game, but they will not be guaranteed tickets and will not find out until mid-September the result of their request. Available tickets will depend on the number of season and mini plan packages sold.
Lehigh is coming off a 2008 season that saw the Mountain Hawks finish 4-2 in the Patriot League, which included an emotionally charged 31-15 victory over archrival Lafayette. The Brown and White returns three All-League players for the 2009 campaign, including rising senior captains Matt Cohen and BJ Benning along with rising junior Jarard Cribbs. In all, the Mountain Hawks bring back ten starters and 30 letterwinners, including quarterback J.B. Clark who threw for over 2,300 yards and 23 touchdowns in his first season under center.
“Lehigh Football fans will have plenty of opportunities to see their Mountain Hawks this season,” explained Lehigh head coach Andy Coen, set to enter his fourth season. “With seven home games, including the 145th meeting with Lafayette, Goodman Stadium will be a busy venue throughout the fall and I know everyone within our program is looking forward to competing in front of the most passionate and loyal fan base in the Patriot League.”
The Mountain Hawks open their 2009 campaign on September 5 versus the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils at Goodman Stadium.
