It has been a minute since the last time Gopher football held an official Spring Game. Between weather and Fleck’s decision, the program has not held an outdoor Spring Game since 2021. The past two seasons they have decided to not have a Spring Game and the two years prior to that it was moved indoors due to weather. But the game is back and it will be under the sun at Huntington Bank Stadium tomorrow.
Here is what you need to know.
KICKOFF: 11:00 am
TV & RADIO: If you don’t feel like attending live,
the game will be aired on BTN or you can listen on KFAN.
ADMISSION: Free
PARKING: Parking lots around the stadium will be open and will have an event rate of $7. Fans can park in the following lots beginning at 7:00 a.m.: Maroon, Gold, Ski-U-Mah, Victory and Lot 37. Tailgating is not permitted for the Spring Game.
WEATHER: 51 degrees and sunny
SEATING: Fans will be allowed to sit on the north side of the stadium (traditionally the opponents side) and concession stands will be open.
DIAPER DRIVE: The team will once again host a diaper drive at the spring game. Gopher fans have donated nearly 130,000 diapers since the team first started collecting them once a year in 2017. Fans are encouraged to bring diapers to the game and drop them off outside the stadium near Tribal Nations Plaza (outside of West Plaza). These diapers will then be donated to the Diaper Bank of Minnesota where they will then be distributed to community members in need.
BRING YOUR OAR: Fans are encouraged to bring a decorated oar to the spring game. These customized oars will be added to the inside of Huntington Bank Stadium where they adorn the tunnel that the Gophers travel from their locker room to the field on game days. These inspirational oars are the final images that members of the team see before taking the field and connect the community and state with Gopher football.
