Baylor Football Season/Single-game Tickets*
Coming off an exciting 2012 season that ended with a powerful win over UCLA in the 2012 Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl, the Baylor Bears look to continue their momentum in 2013. They begin the fall with high expectations, coming off a program-record three straight bowl appearances and having received first-place votes in the Big 12 preseason poll for the first time in program history. Expectations are high for many individual players as well with more than half a dozen players on preseason watch lists for national awards.
*Single-game tickets to the Bears' final game in Floyd Casey Stadium Dec. 7 vs. Texas are sold out. However, Baylor football season tickets include the Dec. 7 game and may be purchased for as little as $95 each for Baylor's seven-game 2013 home schedule.
