Bucknell Bison football has been part of Lewisburg since 1883, giving central Pennsylvania fall Saturdays to circle on the calendar. The Bison own one of college football's milestone moments, a 26-0 win in the inaugural Orange Bowl in 1935, and later captured the Patriot League title in 1996. Pro Football Hall of Famer Clarke Hinkle set the program's hard-nosed identity, and annual showdowns with Lehigh, Lafayette and Colgate keep the stakes high across the league.

Home days at Christy Mathewson Memorial Stadium feel quintessentially college football. The orange and blue student section surges with the Bucknell University Marching Band, tailgates fire up across the lawn lots, and the Susquehanna Valley backdrop turns every drive into a postcard. Traditions like singing The Orange and the Blue tie generations together, creating a welcoming, energetic game-day atmosphere that rewards every fan who makes the trip.
