Most Popular Sports

The Lady Monarchs basketball team—as they’ve been so prestigiously named—dominates our campus without a doubt. Field hockey also seems to be really popular—almost everyone knows a field hockey player. Men’s basketball may take a backseat to women’s, but it isn’t overlooked. The inaugural season of football starts in Fall 2009.

Most Overlooked Teams

Most of the teams at ODU get equal press by word of mouth and in the student-run newspaper the Mace and Crown.

School Spirit

Old Dominion might seem apathetic during the school year, what with school work and jobs piling up on each other, students barely have enough time for themselves. But when Homecoming comes around, students are eager to paint their faces and join in the parades and the fun. Sporting events like basketball and field hockey break the monotony of tedious school weeks, and masses of students crowd the stands of the Ted Constant Convocation Center or the stands in Foreman Field and cheer on their favorite teams.

Getting Tickets

You may want to camp out to get tickets for an ODU sporting event. Especially if you’re trying to get into a Lady Monarchs game.
