The game is open to the public, and admission and parking are free.<\/p>\n<p>In a change from the traditional noon start, the game will begin at 5 p.m. this year. Parking lots will open at 2 p.m., with gates to the stadium opening at 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we prepared for spring football and our annual Blue-White Game, we felt that moving the start of the spring game to 5 p.m. would make it more convenient and appealing for our fans,&#8221; says Jeffrey Hathaway, director of athletics. &#8220;It&#8217;s a busy time of the year, with youth sports taking place and other spring-time activities as the weather improves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,\u201d Hathaway added. \u201cI encourage all fans to come out and support coach <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uconnhuskies.com\/sports\/m-footbl\/mtt\/pasqualoni_paul00.html\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Pasqualoni<\/a> and our Huskies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A number of activities are planned for the spring game including a Select-A-Seat season ticket sale, an autograph session, a Fan Fest, and a post-game on-field football toss. Further details will be announced as the game approaches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am looking forward to seeing a large number of Husky fans come to our Spring Football Game,&#8221; says Pasqualoni. &#8220;I am thrilled to return to my home state to coach the UConn program, and I can&#8217;t wait to get into Rentschler Field with my new team.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kickoff is 5 p.m. at Rentschler Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[40],"class_list":["post-32865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-11 05:37:33","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32865"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32971,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32865\/revisions\/32971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32865"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=32865"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=32865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
