The Ball State football team will host its annual Cardinal and White Spring Game on April 18 at Scheumann Stadium.
The game will be an offense vs. defense scrimmage with five series per quarter, and special teams in between quarters. The offense will punt or kick a field goal on all fourth downs.
Head coach Pete Lembo announced last week that alumni Tom Broderick and Kurt Humes will serve as honorary head coaches for the event.
“We have made an effort to introduce some new football program traditions since arriving four years ago,” Lembo said in a statement. “One of these is to honor two former players or coaches by having them on the sideline with the team for the Spring Game. Tom and Kurt represent a highly successful era of Ball State football in the mid to late 1970s. They are also great examples of football alumni who have stayed connected with the program and give back to the university."
Fans have a chance to win prizes at the event, and are welcome to enter the field for photos and autographs with coaches and players after the game.
Admission is free of charge, and gates will open at 2 p.m. for the 3 p.m. kickoff.
