Old Dominion Monarchs football relaunched in 2009 in Norfolk, Virginia, and wasted no time making noise. The Monarchs powered to FCS playoff berths in 2011 and 2012, reached the 2012 quarterfinals with record-setting quarterback Taylor Heinicke, then claimed their first FBS bowl victory in the 2016 Bahamas Bowl. Since moving to the Sun Belt, ODU has added multiple bowl appearances and delivered signature upsets of Virginia Tech in 2018 and 2022 that shook the Commonwealth.

Saturdays at S.B. Ballard Stadium feel intimate and electric, with the 12th Monarch student section roaring, the Monarch Marching Band leading the pregame Monarch March, and tailgates lining 49th Street and Kaufman Mall. The annual Royal Rivalry with James Madison elevates the stakes, while alums like Heinicke and Oshane Ximines give fans plenty to cheer about long after the final whistle.
