Fayetteville State University’s Department of Campus Enterprises has announced a call for vendors to take part in the 2026 football season, offering them space to sell food, beverages and officially licensed merchandise at games held in Luther Jeralds Stadium.
Designated selling locations will be set up in the parking lot of the Lauretta Taylor Building, a spot that places vendors directly in the path of the thousands of students, alumni and supporters who are expected to fill the stands each weekend.
Boosting Game‑Day Commerce
Food vendors must obtain a Temporary Food Establishment permit from the Cumberland County Health Department, while those wishing to market FSU-branded apparel need written authorization from the university’s Legal Affairs Office, ensuring compliance with both health regulations and trademark policies.
Applications are reviewed on a first‑come, first‑served basis, provided the applicant receives approval and pays the required fee, a process designed to allocate the limited spaces in an orderly fashion.
The 2026 home schedule includes contests against Shaw University, UNC Pembroke, Valdosta State, Virginia Union University, Elizabeth City State University and Bowie State University, giving vendors a full slate of opportunities to reach a varied audience throughout the season.
By expanding the range of options available on game day, the university aims to enrich the experience for Bronco Nation, creating a more vibrant and welcoming atmosphere while also fostering local business growth.
Vendors interested in participating are encouraged to submit their applications promptly, as the university anticipates strong demand and limited availability of spots.
