The University is home to Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns, a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), competing at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics (Division I). UL sponsors eight men’s sports (football, basketball, baseball, cross country, golf, tennis and indoor and outdoor track & field) and eight women’s sports (soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, cross country, tennis and indoor and outdoor track & field).
Ragin’ Cajuns athletics provides a fun, safe and affordable entertainment experience for all those in attendance. Students receive free admission into all home sporting events by showing their current student ID. In addition, students may purchase a companion ticket at a reduced price.
At most home sporting events, the University Program Council (UPC) sponsors student contests and promotions which offer students in attendance the chance to win prizes. The UPC office also offers a complimentary tailgating area for students at home football games. Ragin’ Cajuns tailgating features live music, great food and one-of-a-kind Cajun hospitality. It’s some of the best tailgating in the South and is a time-honored experience that’s cherished by all!
