In the first game of the series, Norfolk State will host Towson at William “Dick” Price Stadium in Norfolk, Va., on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025. This contest was revealed in December when Towson’s 2025 season schedule was released.
The game will mark the debut for new Norfolk State head coach Michael Vick, who played college football at Virginia Tech and in the NFL, primarily for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.
According to the copy of the contract obtained from Norfolk State on Saturday via a public records request, the two-game series will conclude when Towson hosts Norfolk State on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2027. The game will be played at Johnny Unitas Stadium in Towson, Md.
