For the fifth consecutive year, season ticket pricing remains flat in 2020.

The Scarlet Knights will play seven home games at SHI Stadium, opening the season with a matchup against Monmouth on Labor Day weekend (Sept. 5). A renewed rivalry with former Big East member Syracuse returns to the schedule on Sept. 12, the first meeting between the schools since the 2012 season. Rutgers won six of the previous eight contests between the schools.
The home Big Ten schedule opens on Oct. 3 against Illinois, followed by the annual Homecoming game on Oct. 17 versus Indiana. West Division opponent Nebraska will travel to Piscataway on Oct. 24 for Parent-Family Weekend.
The Scarlet Knights will close out the November conference schedule with games against Michigan on Nov. 14 and Penn State on Nov. 28.
Fan excitement for the return of Schiano, the 2006 National Coach of the Year, was evident by the spike in season ticket deposits at the time of his hire. The Rutgers ticket office received 502 deposits for season tickets, which accounts for an estimated 1,355-1,606 new season tickets in a five-week span.
In the first 138 years of Rutgers football, the program advanced to one bowl game, while Schiano led the Scarlet Knights to six postseason games in his 11-year tenure, including five championships. RU was ranked in 20 weeks during Schiano's tenure after appearing in the AP Poll only nine times prior. Schiano has three nine-win campaigns, coached 83 RU players who signed NFL contracts and guided the program to the top APR score in the nation.
In addition to the single-game ticket offer, season ticket holders will have the chance to utilize a four-installment payment plan. The plan can be used for all items purchased during the season ticket process (this includes season, single-game ticket add-ons, Rutgers Scholarship Fund (RSF) seat fee and parking). Per-game pricing on season tickets and RSF seat fees remain the same for the third consecutive season. Under the four-installment payment plan, season ticket holders will be required to pay 25 percent of their total bill at the time of renewal or new purchase. The remaining payments will be charged on March 16 (25 percent), April 15 (25 percent) and May 15 (25 percent). The deadline to enter the payment plan is April 30 and any season tickets acquired after this date will be required to be paid in full at the time of purchase. The renewal deadline for 2020 season tickets is March 5.
2020 season parking is available exclusively to season ticket holders. Accounts that purchased parking in 2019 will have the opportunity to renew in the same parking lot after meeting the minimum priority point and annual athletic gift requirement. Click here for more information.
With the new upgrade and relocation process for the 2020 season, current and new season ticket holders are encouraged to make their annual gifts to the R Fund or increase their support of Scarlet Knight student-athletes by the April 30 priority point deadline to maximize opportunities for seat upgrades or parking selection for the 2020 season. Following the priority point deadline, all accounts with the upgrade request will be accommodated in priority point order for the opportunity to upgrade or relocate seats to preferred locations.
