What this is
An independent fan guide to East Carolina Pirates football: the current schedule and results, gameday rules for Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, and program history.
Where the facts come from
- Schedule, scores, TV: the ECU Athletics schedule, cross-checked against ESPN after each game. When the two disagree, ECU wins. The checked date is on every page.
- Gameday rules: ECU’s 2026 game day guide and clear bag policy. Anything ECU did not publish for 2026 is labeled with the year it comes from.
- History and records: public reference pages such as Wikipedia, linked where used.
