Home Field Advantage Package Information

HOUSTON - As the 12th-ranked University of Houston football team's final two regular-season home games draw closer, the Athletics Ticket Office announced a special ticket package for fans Tuesday evening.

The Home Field Advantage Package is on sale now in the Houston Athletics Ticket Office and at UHCougars.com. For only $50, fans can receive one reserved seat on the east (Cullen Boulevard) side to each of the Cougars' final two regular-season home games on John O'Quinn Field at Robertson Stadium.

The Cougars play host to a pair of Conference USA opponents in those final two games. Houston meets Memphis at noon, Nov. 21 and then closes out the regular season at 7 p.m., Nov. 28, when they square off against crosstown-rival Rice.

HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE
The Cougars have won their last 13 and 18 of their last 19 home games at Robertson Stadium dating back to the 2006 season. With wins against Memphis and Rice, the Cougars will tie the school record for the longest winning streak in any home facility.

This season, Houston has enjoyed wins against Texas Tech, Northwestern State and Conference USA-foes SMU and Southern Miss.

Earlier this season, 32,114 fans poured into Robertson Stadium to watch the Cougars take a 29-28 win against Texas Tech. It was the largest crowd ever to watch the Cougars play in their home facility.
