SHAWNEE – Bison fans will get their first look at the 2018 OBU football squad Saturday as the team plays its annual Spring Game at 1 p.m. inside Crain Family Stadium at the Hurt Complex.
This year's game will feature an offense versus defense format, with point being awarded in a variety of categories on both sides.
"We are excited to see the culmination of all of the hard work put in since January," said OBU head coach
Chris Jensen. "A day like Saturday gives the coaches an opportunity to evaluate the younger players in a game-like atmosphere. We are always looking for the players who will make plays on game day."
Gates open at noon, and admission is free. All seating will be general admission.
Campus parking lots will be open and free of charge to fans, with the Gold Lot (located directly south of the Hurt Complex) and Green Lot (east of the Noble Complex) offering the largest number of available spaces.
In conjunction with the game, a number of family-friendly events will be taking place before and during the Spring Game.
