Could it really be the Greatest Homecoming on Earth (GHOE)?

Whether or not North Carolina A&T State University truly holds the GHOE title is still up for debate in some circles but the HBCU’s legendary Aggie Pride is certainly giving everyone a run for their money this homecoming season. We’re still in the middle of summer, only three days into the month of August, and the historic Greensboro, NC school’s fall homecoming game on Saturday, October 31 is sold out.

That’s right: Sold Out.

According to HBCU Gameday, North Carolina A&T homecoming tickets sold out online within five minutes of their official on-sale date this morning. The highly-anticipated game is part of the school’s 100th homecoming celebration. While fellow HBCUs Howard University and Tuskegee University are making headlines for much different reasons, A&T students and alumni are clearly ready to celebrate.

The ticket office opened until 9 a.m. Online sales for A&T”s six home football games also began at 9 a.m. By approximately 9:05 a.m., the ticketing site listed the Oct. 31 homecoming game against Elon University as sold out according to reports. The extraordinary demand surrounding North Carolina A&T’s centennial celebration actually began last month. The university, which impressively produces more Black engineers than any other college or university nationwide, announced in July that it had already sold a school-record 6,000-plus season tickets. Those packages included access to the homecoming game, reducing the number of individual seats available today.
