The ’16 Commodores are is expected to feature 15 returning starters and more than 50 letter-winners in Derek Mason’s third year as head coach. Among the returnees are running back Ralph Webb, quarterback Kyle Shurmur, wide receiver Trent Sherfield, offensive linemen Will Holden and Andrew Jelks, defensive linemen Adam Butler and Jay Woods, linebackers Zach Cunningham and Nigel Bowden, cornerback Torren McGaster and safety Oren Burks.
Season ticket prices for the 2016 schedule start at $141 (including fees) for reserved seats in the south end-zone. Sideline seats are $256, with an annual donation to the National Commodore Club required for many premium sideline locations.
A special Commodore Family Plan, featuring two adult tickets and two youth tickets in south end-zone section, once again will be available for $404. A limited general admission section in the north end-zone is priced at $126.
The renewal deadline for season ticket holders to secure seat locations is Feb. 26. Renewal forms will be mailed to all 2015 season ticket holders in early February.
