Hosting a spring football game can be beneficial in many ways. For fans, they’re able to get a glimpse of young, talented freshman players for the first time. For the players, they have the opportunity to compete in position battles to help establish their position on the depth chart.
It’s the closest setting to a real game that both fans and players are able to experience. Which running back will win the starting job? How will highly-rated backup quarterback Hudson Card do? Who will seemingly become Texas’ new primary slot receiver?
Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte recently confirmed the date and time for the 2020 spring football game, which will again be held under the lights at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
Texas AD Chris Del Conte confirms the spring football game is April 25 at 6:30 p.m. No south end zone video board for that game, though.

Although construction will be active throughout the south end zone, the fan experience is expected to be eventful. Last year, several autograph opportunities were held for children while Ludacris was the headliner for the Longhorn City Limits postgame concert.
