Oregon State fans are set to experience the new era of Beaver football under head coach JaMarcus Shephard this Saturday, April 25th. The highly anticipated spring game offers free admission, with fans able to enter Reser Stadium's F and G gates on the west side starting at 11 AM PST. The game is scheduled to commence at noon PST.
For those planning to drive, parking passes are available online for $20 in the stadium lots and adjacent structure. General parking across the Oregon State campus is free, excluding specially marked areas, with enforcement active from 6 AM to 3 PM PST on Saturday.
Coach Shephard detailed the unique scoring format for the spring game: offense scores for points achieved, while defense earns points for three-and-outs, fourth-down stops, and turnovers like pick-sixes. This system has historically resulted in close contests, with the last scrimmage being a three-point difference before the red zone segment.
Prior to the football event, an Oregon State football apparel and memorabilia surplus sale will be held at the Truax Indoor Center, opening at 8 AM PST. Following the spring game, fans can enjoy additional sports action as the softball team hosts Seattle University at 2 PM PST, and the baseball team plays Hawaii at 3 PM PST.
