Field Damage Forces Houston Spring Game Outdoors
15 Apr
Summary
- Spring game moved to practice fields due to safety concerns.
- Field damage resulted from a recent Easter event.
- New transfers and freshmen to debut this Saturday.
The University of Houston's annual spring football game, originally scheduled for TDECU Stadium, has been relocated to the outdoor practice fields. This decision was made due to player safety concerns arising from damage to the stadium's playing surface. The damage is attributed to an Easter event held on the field just over a week prior.
Despite the venue change, fans can anticipate seeing new transfers and freshmen in action for the first time this offseason. Notable transfers include running back Makhi Hughes and edge Ashton Porter from Oregon, alongside wide receiver Trent Walker. Highly-rated freshman quarterback Keisean Henderson and versatile freshman Paris Melvin Jr. are also expected to impress.
In addition to the spring game, the day will include a ceremony celebrating the 2025 Kinder's Texas Bowl Champions. Frontier Fiesta will also open its festivities, and fans are encouraged to support the Cougar's softball team in their game against Arizona State.
