BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference released the 2025 football schedule for its member institutions today (March 5). Bowling Green's slate features 12 regular-season games, including six home contests. Kickoff times and network designations for all contests will be announced at a later date.

In 2025, Bowling Green will host Lafayette (Thursday, Aug. 28), Liberty (Sept. 13), Toledo (Oct. 11), Central Michigan (Oct. 18), Buffalo (Nov. 1) and Akron (Tuesday, Nov. 18). The opener against Lafayette was moved up to Thursday, Aug. 28, from its previously announced Saturday date.

Season Ticket Information
Football season tickets are now available for purchase and for current season ticket holders to renew. This can be done online by signing into your ticket account. Fans who are interested in purchasing season tickets can do so by clicking here. Fans are encouraged to take advantage of our new Early Bird Special from now until Friday, May 23. At that time, any unrenewed seats will be released to the public and prices will increase after May 23. 

In an effort to improve the fan and student experience at games, we have made the following adjustments to the stadium map. If you are affected by these changes the Ticket Office will contact you to discuss new seats for the 2025 season.

• Sections 12L and 12U are now student seating to accommodate the ever-growing Falcon Fanatics.
• Section 18L has been converted to Sideline Bench seating.
• Sections 22L and 22U have been switched to Red Zone General Admission to accommodate friends and family of the Falcon Marching Band that wish to sit near the band. 

The fan-favorite Family Pack will include four Red Zone General Admission season tickets and a parking pass in the $10 Lots for each game, all for only $220.

For fans wanting a more premium experience, the Sebo Center Party Deck will be like last year. This premium experience will include a tailgate buffet and cash bar, along with multiple seating options. Fans can choose to watch the game from the north end zone bleachers, high-top tables on the balcony, or stay out of the elements inside the Sebo Center. As part of our long-term plan to improve the fan experience in the Sebo Center Party Deck, the bleacher seating will now feature chairbacks, greatly improving the comfort for fans. Falcon Club members at a $250 or higher giving level can purchase season tickets in the Party Deck for $300. After May 23, the price will increase to $315.

BGSU Faculty and Staff can receive one complimentary Red Zone General Admission ticket, and 50 percent off all other bowl-level seating. Additionally, BGSU Faculty/Staff have the option to utilize Payroll Deduction for the cost of their tickets. Faculty/Staff can fill out this form to request their tickets.
