Welcome to Drexel! While we all come from different places and many of us root for different professional sports teams, we all can come together and root for our shared team, the Drexel Dragons. 

We have 18 Varsity teams at Drexel, taking place across fall, winter and spring seasons. The marquee sports of each season are Soccer in the fall, Basketball in the winter and Lacrosse in the spring. 

For the outdoor sports, you will find them playing their home games at Vidas Field, located on 42nd and Powelton. While it is a bit of a walk from the dorms, there is a shuttle bus that leaves every half hour from the bus stop on 33rd and Market Street that will get you there in under 15 minutes. 

For indoor sports, you will be able to catch our home games from The DAC, which is just steps away from the dorms. Beginning in November, Basketball season will kick off, and there is no better way to show your Drexel pride than by hanging out with The DAC Pack in the student section. On Nov. 13, our women will host La Salle in the inaugural women’s Big 5 Tournament. On Nov. 16, the men’s team will also play host to La Salle in the second Big 5 Tournament.

The Big 5 is a great way to boost your status as a fan of the Dragons as we take on our Philadelphia-based rivals. Last year, the Men took down Villanova, who were ranked 18th in the nation, in dramatic fashion at the inaugural Big 5 Classic. 

Our Women’s Basketball team is a force to be reckoned with, as they are the reigning CAA Champions and only got stronger in the offseason, so if you want to see some dominant basketball, make sure those games are appointment viewing for you. 

All Drexel sports games are free for students. All you have to do is show up to the game, present your DragonCard and you are in! There are a few ways to figure out when games for your favorite sports are. First, you can go to drexeldragons.com and look at the calendar for upcoming events. Another easy way is to follow @DrexelAthletics, @DACPack and any of the individual sports teams on Instagram. This way, as you scroll through Instagram, you will be sure not to miss any upcoming games. 

An important part of college is getting free things, and there are few better places to get unique giveaways than at Drexel games. In order to make sure you don’t miss a giveaway, stay tuned for the various sports’ promotional schedules and social media. 

Of course, above all else, the easiest way to stay up to date as a Drexel Sports fan is to read The Triangle every time we publish. 

We will see all of you new Drexel fans at the games!
