The University of Connecticut Blue-White Spring Football Game will begin at 5:00 p.m. this year, in a change from the traditional noon start. The game will be played on Saturday, April 16 at Rentschler Field and admission and parking are free. Parking lots will open
at 2:00 p.m. with gates to the stadium opening at 3:30 p.m.

"As we prepared for spring football and our annual Blue-White Game, we felt
that moving the start of the spring game to 5:00 p.m. would make it more convenient and appealing for our fans," says UConn Director of Athletics Jef frey Hathaway. "It's a busy time of the year with youth sports taking place and other spring time activities as the weather improves.

"We are hoping that our fans can use the morning and afternoon of an April
day and then join us at Rentschler Field for a kickoff at what we believe is a fan-friendly time. I encourage all fans to come out and support coach Paul Pasqualoni and our Huskies."
