In response to fan feedback, and to incorporate several new activities in conjunction with the Spring Football Game, the Festival will take place on Saturday, April 22 at 3:30 PM. Highlighting those activities are several interactive events for fans of all ages. Admission to the Spring Football Festival is free.

A two-hour Fan Fest will be presented inside the North Gate of the Carl Smith Center, home of David A Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium, two hours prior to kickoff of the football game. The area will include a variety of interactive games and activities for children, performances by the UVa Marching Band and cheerleaders, autograph sessions featuring former Virginia football players, live band, and a food court.

Participation in the festivities will not be limited to just children. A professional football style combine will allow all fans to test their abilities in a number of interactive skill events.

Virginia will hold its first spring football practice on Wednesday, March 29.
