Saturday's OU Spring Football Game Pushed to 2:30 p.m.

NORMAN — Due to predicted rain and lightning in central Oklahoma Saturday morning and potentially into early afternoon, the OU Athletics Department has announced that the Sooners' spring football game that day will be pushed back to 2:30 p.m. CT. Gates at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium are scheduled to open at 1 p.m.

The athletics department also announced that its "Party at the Palace presented by Allstate" pre-spring-game fan festival on the north side of the stadium has been canceled.

Saturday's 6 p.m. OU home softball game against Houston will continue as originally scheduled, however, a morning statue unveiling of head coach Patty Gasso at Love's Field has been postponed due to likely inclement weather. Information on a new date for the ceremony will be communicated when finalized.

OU officials are continuing to monitor Saturday's weather forecasts and any potential additional changes to the day's schedule will be communicated with as much notice as possible.

ADDITIONAL SPRING GAME INFORMATION

Parking

The East Suite Reserved, Field House, Heisman, and Monnet parking lots, as well as the Asp Avenue Parking Facility, will be reserved for the spring game. All other parking lots/facilities, including the Lloyd Noble Center north lot, will be free to the public and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

A limited number of ADA spots will be available in the Asp Avenue Parking Facility on a first-come, first-served basis with a valid ADA placard (Asp Avenue Parking Facility parking pass not required).

Physical Disability Shuttle

Like the 2023 football season, the ADA stadium shuttle location is the OU College of Law parking lot, which can be accessed via the Chautauqua Avenue and J Willis Stovall Drive intersection. The shuttle unloads on Asp Avenue, immediately west of the stadium by Gates 1 through 4. Because of the high demand for the shuttle service, the service is restricted to those patrons who have a disability and one (1) caretaker for riders needing additional assistance. Patrons with a disability may ride the disability shuttle for a $5-per-round-trip fee.

Stadium Entry

Normal stadium entry policies (including metal detector and clear bag) will be in place for Saturday's spring game. Gates will open at 11 a.m. and fans are encouraged to enter the stadium via the suggested gate on their mobile ticket.

Game Format

Saturday's game will feature the offense (Red Team) vs. the defense (White Team) and a point-scoring system for each squad. Each quarter will be 12 minutes in duration. At the start of the fourth quarter, a target score will be generated by adding 12 points to the leading team's score. If one of the teams reaches that target score before the fourth quarter clock expires, that team wins. If the target score is not reached by either team, the team leading when the clock expires wins. The Red Team will be coached by Emmett Jones and will man the west sideline. The White Team will be coached by Todd Bates and utilize the east sideline.

Concession Food Specials

An exciting game day food special will be among the many available concession offerings at the spring game. Family packs of four hot dogs, four regular-sized soft drinks or bottled waters and a large popcorn can be purchased for $40 at two ground-level locations: the Nacho Express concession stand by Section 9 and the Redzone concession stand by Section 35.

StadiumDrop Food Delivery

Fans in the lower seating bowl not wanting to miss any of the spring game action can have concessions delivered to their seat by ordering from the StadiumDrop app. StadiumDrop can be downloaded via the Apple App Store or Google Play.

TV/Radio Information

The spring game will be televised by SoonerVision on ESPN+ and will feature play-by-play announcer Toby Rowland and analyst Dusty Dvoracek. The OU radio broadcast will air on the Sooner Sports Radio Network (flagship 107.7 FM The Franchise) with play-by-play announcer Chad McKee, analyst Teddy Lehman, sideline reporter Chris Plank and sideline analyst Gabe Ikard on the call.

Postgame Autograph Session
