University of Denver Top Questions

Sports are actually a REALLY big deal on campus. Most people discount DU athletics because we don't have a football team (sorry folks), but we have other sports that are very good. Our hockey games are very exciting and my personal favorites. Where at larger universities football dominates the scene, hockey dominates at DU. DU has also established itself as the "Lacrosse Capital of the West" (http://www.denverpioneers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=18600&ATCLID=205335563). Our soccer, golf, tennis, and basketball teams are all top-notch for BOTH sexes too. Except for hockey games, which are $5, sports are FREE!

The University of Denver sports teams have won 27 NCAA Division I national championships. DU was ranked 23rd out of 330 Division 1 sports programs in the country in 2008. To say the least, DU has incredible athletics. Even though we don't have a football team, students are school spirited at games and our teams are talented and perform well. Hockey games provide students with a similar environment to football games. You won't feel like you're missing out on anything, rather the opposite; DU's sports are well worth supporting.

Our hockey team is historically really good, but the students are lacking in team spirit. Sometimes I wish that we had more school pride.

DU has a wide variety of Division I athletics. While we do not have a football team, we have a very good hockey and lacrosses program. Last year our lacrosse team traveled to the East Coast to play in the Final Four. It is very unique that we have a hockey program and every September students camp out for hockey season tickets.
