Houston Cougars Football Tickets

The Houston Cougars football team was established in 1946. The team originally played its games on campus in Robertson Stadium until it was demolished, rebuilt and branded in 2014 as TDECU Stadium where the home games are now hosted. Although the team has played for multiple conferences throughout the years, it finally found a fit with the American Athletic Conference where it consistently delivers impressive seasons with a talented team of up-and-coming athletes. For a fairly fresh team in the NCAA, the squad has already accumulated an impressive 400 all-time wins, and that number only continues to grow as the seasons pass by. Since the team's formation, it has won 11 conference championships, six of them being outright titles. The team has also seen several of its players and coaches inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and many have taken home national wins for coveted awards. Wilson Whitley was the first Houston Cougar to win a trophy in 1976 when he took home the Lombardi Award. David Klingler, Andre Ware and Ed Oliver are just a few of the players who have also won prestigious awards during their time with the Houston Cougars. The
