Football Games

There was one football game played at the Red Bull Arena in the 2022-23 season.  It appears to be the first football game played at the arena. The game was held as part of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Brick City Kickoff Classic where Hampton Pirates played against Grambling State Tigers. The Brick City HBCU Kickoff Classic, held on September 2, 2023, aimed to increase awareness of HBCUs and have a direct impact on the City of Newark through scholarships, strengthened partnerships, and local economic development. The event is hosted by the City of Newark and KBS Sports Strategies with sponsors including Prudential, I Heart Media, Wells Fargo, 23 and Me, Smirnoff Lemonades, and the Greater Newark Convention Visitor Bureau. This game renews a popular rivalry between the two teams.  You can read more about it in our article by clicking here.
