Old Dominion Traditions

The Traditions

Old Dominion's game day traditions are still evolving but already feature some memorable touchdowns of pageantry. Big Blue, the Monarchs' lion mascot, leads the team's entrance through the south tunnel as the band plays the fight song.

Pregame Rituals

The "O-D-U" chant rolls through the stands during key defensive moments and has become the signature crowd participation element. The Monarch Walk, where players parade through the tailgate lots before entering the stadium, gives fans an up-close connection with the team.

In-Game Moments

Keep an eye out for the cannon blast that follows every Monarch touchdown.
