WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue Football will take the field against Syracuse under the Ross-Ade Stadium lights on Saturday, Sept. 16, to a sold-out crowd, Purdue Athletics announced on Wednesday. A 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff, Purdue's first night game of the season is the first contest on the 2023 schedule to officially sell out of tickets.
The game marks the third-ever meeting between Purdue and Syracuse, completing the home-and-home series that began last year. In the 2022 road showdown, the Boilermakers fell in a hard-fought game against the Orange in the final seconds, 32-29. Previously, Purdue bested Syracuse in the original meeting between the programs in 2004, when quarterback Kyle Orton threw four touchdown passes en route to a dominant 51-0 victory at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Led by head coach Ryan Walters, the 2023 Boilermakers have the opportunity to answer last season's defeat in front of a sold-out crowd at the newly renovated Ross-Ade Stadium in its 100th season. The primetime matchup is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
Tickets are still available for the Boilermakers' home opener against Fresno State, starting at just $15, and can be purchased here.
