Sports teams of East Carolina University, fielding 9 men's and 11 women's NCAA Division I sports, mostly in the American Athletic Conference. The most popular sport is football, in which the Pirates typically make bowl games about as often as not, but basketball and baseball are also significant draws (as at most big schools). Almost all athletic venues are on campus, with the most notable being Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium (football) and Minges Coliseum, home to several indoor sports, with basketball in a part of the complex known as Williams Arena. The central ticket office for all ECU sports is near the football stadium.
