FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Fayetteville State University's Department of Campus Enterprises is now accepting applications from food and merchandise vendors interested in participating in the 2026 Broncos Football Season. The initiative is designed to enhance the game day experience by providing fans with a wider variety of food, beverages, and merchandise options throughout the football season.
With thousands of students, alumni, and supporters expected to attend games at Luther "Nick" Jeralds Stadium, the Broncos football season presents a valuable opportunity for businesses and organizations to market their products and services to a large and engaged audience. Vendor spaces will be located in designated areas adjacent to the stadium in the Lauretta Taylor Building parking lot.
The 2026 Fayetteville State home football schedule includes:
- Aug. 29 vs. Shaw University
- Sept. 5 vs. UNC Pembroke
- Sept. 12 vs. Valdosta State
- Sept. 26 vs. Virginia Union University
- Oct. 17 vs. Elizabeth City State University (Homecoming)
- Oct. 31 vs. Bowie State University
Vendor spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis following application approval and payment. Submission of an application does not guarantee placement, and vendors are encouraged to apply early.
Food vendors must obtain the appropriate Temporary Food Establishment permit through the Cumberland County Health Department before submitting their application. Merchandise vendors selling Fayetteville State University-branded items must have written authorization from the University's Legal Affairs Office or appropriate licensing authority.
"Our goal is to create an exciting and welcoming game day atmosphere for Bronco Nation while providing local businesses and organizations an opportunity to engage with our fans," said the Department of Campus Enterprises. "We encourage interested vendors to secure their space today and become part of the FSU football experience."
