Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Intramural and club sports are very big on campus, probably bigger than many varsity sports. Elon offers 17 varsity sports and 21 intramural and club sports. Being an NCAA Division I School in the Southern Conference has helped Elon’s reputation grow, especially in men’s varsity baseball and football.

A good percentage of students play either varsity, intramural, or club sports at some point in their college careers. Popular varsity sports are baseball, football, cross-country, and women’s volleyball.

No one really goes to the sports games. Greek people will occasionally go to the football games their designer dresses.

Campus Athletic Atmosphere

Athletics doesn't dominate the social atmosphere. We are not a "sports school." However, we do very well in baseball, golf, and soccer. We're not too shabby in tennis. The women's basketball team is pretty good. The football team does pretty well for Division I AA. We're Division I for our sports. We have school spirit, but mainly during huge family weekends and homecoming. If you travel to an away game, you're not going to see that many phoenix fans.

The athletic facilities are great. They have their own state of the art facilities. It contains saunas, jacuzzis, weight rooms, and the basics.

Athletics aren't that big of a deal at Elon, but the teams are getting better and the field is being expanded on so the program in growing. Not a lot of the students go to the games and stuff though.

School Spirit

The best way to see school spirit is going to games. The football team has improved over the years, and the tailgates before football games are where you will see preppy Elon at its finest. Homecoming weekend, especially, is full of alumni and current students in their sundresses and button downs with bow ties. The baseball games are also pretty packed because the varsity team is probably the best at Elon. Greek pride is everywhere; on “letter shirt Tuesdays” you will find everyone sporting their Greek pins and apparel.

Getting Tickets

Students get in free with their Phoenix ID card. For non-students, tickets are easy to get as long as you visit the ticket office before any of the games; single game tickets cost $18 for stadium seating and $15 for grass seating. Season passes usually range from $90–$105, and parking passes are usually about $30.
