Acknowledging what homepage of this website says, note this Merrimack fan article doesn't list a defined game day/time for the Delaware game.

Not listed here either yet:

May likely end up there. We'll see. If it was officially announced by UD I missed it.

Re: Merrimack Game Day
Our GoHens schedule page has Merrimack on 9/3 and Coastal on 9/19. UD official site has them flip-flopped. Not sure which is correct, but I would assume Bluehens.com may be in error?

Re: Merrimack Game Day
This article explains the date change of Coastal Carolina to 9/19... I assume Merrimack will be 9/3, but haven't seen that officially reported anywhere.

Re: Merrimack Game Day
Large enough stadium, a fellow PA State University. Probably a crowd that is 80-90% PSU, and they get much of the gate. Just a guess.Cluck U wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 10:01 pmPenn State coming to Temple, 9/12, next year.Margarine Pressey wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 7:03 pm This article explains the date change of Coastal Carolina to 9/19...

Re: Merrimack Game Day
Yup, they've done that before. It's basically a Penn State home game in a major city in the same state. If Temple didn't have the Linc and the size of the stadium it would never happen.Info Hound wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 10:08 pmLarge enough stadium, a fellow PA State University.

Re: Merrimack Game Day
This isn’t anything new for this series. Out of the 45 times they’ve played, 19 of those games have been in Philly. Ask me closer to the fall about this one as PSU is doing quite a heavy roster overhaul between graduation and guys that left. “Iowa State east”?
UD to FBS. I never thought I’d see the day

I do remember Temple coming to Philadelphia a few times back in the mid to late 70s and had some really great games

Re: Merrimack Game Day
Thank you KT !
So 2015 was the last one
The one before that was October of 1941, or before Pearl Harbor
