Spring Game Set for April 30

2/17/2022 10:23:00 AM | Football

Annual contest will start at 1 p.m. and be broadcast on BTN

The University of Minnesota football team will hold its annual spring game presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 30 at Huntington Bank Stadium. The game will be broadcast by BTN. Additional details – like radio broadcast information and pregame fan activities – will be announced in the future.

The traditional Maroon versus Gold tilt will once again end with the victorious team hoisting the coveted Goldy's Cup and a player being named the Sid Hartman Spring Game MVP. 

While additional details will be announced in the future, two constants will remain. 

First, 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 hallway that the Gophers travel from their locker room to the field on game days. These inspirational oars are the final images the Gophers see before taking the field and serve as a way to connect the community and state with Gopher football.

Second, the team will once again be hosting its annual diaper drive. Gopher fans have donated more than 100,000 diapers in the last five years and fans are once again 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 families in need.
