MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee will conclude spring drills on April 12 with the annual Blue-White Spring Game in Floyd Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 PM and admission is free.
The coaching staff and players will be divided into teams that will be announced following the April 9 practice.
During the first half of play the clock will run like a regular game, and then in the second half it will run continuously. Each quarter of play will last 12 minutes. At halftime, Coach Rick Stockstill will present the Spring Awards while recognizing the returning lettermen.
Along with the game, there will be numerous activities available for the Blue Raider faithful. Tailgating will be encouraged at both Walnut Grove and the Greenland Drive parking lot the entire day, while an autograph session with Blue Raider players and coaches is scheduled prior to the game from 10:30 AM until 11:30 AM. Photo opportunities will also be available.
In conjunction with the spring game, the athletic department will also hold their annual garage sale in Floyd Stadium. Fans will be able to purchase Nike jerseys, a limited number of helmets, along with a few other items. The garage sale will be located outside of Lightning's Locker Room near Gate 2A and will get underway at 10 AM.
The Blue Raider ticket office will also be on-hand to sell season tickets which are only $90. As a special incentive for renewing by June 18th, you will receive a complimentary concession coupon booklet featuring your choice of popcorn or peanuts, hot dogs, nachos, large fountain drinks and frito chili pies from the Sodexho concession stands. Also, please help us by adding one new season ticket holder or adding at least one season ticket to your account. This will allow you to use your extra ticket(s) by inviting at least one more friend to attend. Our "ADD ONE" campaign will officially kick off this spring and catch every game while sitting with members of your family and friends. As a special perk by participating in the "ADD ONE" campaign, you will receive an official BLACK OUT t-shirt and car flag.
