Marshall Football Announces Spring Schedule

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Football announced its 2019 spring schedule on Tuesday.

All practices are open to the public with the exception of the April 13 and April 20 workouts, which are limited to Big Green members, football season ticket holders and students with a valid Marshall ID. Those wishing to join the Big Green may gain access to the workouts by purchasing a membership on-site at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.

Those in attendance must enter the stadium through Gate B South, between the press box elevators and the HerdZone Stadium Store. Practices will be closed in the event inclement weather forces the drills to be moved inside the Chris Cline Indoor Athletic Complex. An announcement indicating a move inside will be made on Twitter via @HerdFB.

The Green and White scrimmage will be Saturday, April 27 and will begin at 2 p.m. From 9 a.m.-4 p.m., there will be a Ford Test Drive to raise money for the Huntington Quarterback Club in the West Lot on the east side of 20th Street across from the Marshall Recreation Center. Each Ford test drive will raise $20 and Marshall Athletics thanks its friends at Todd Judy Ford for making the event possible.

At 11 a.m., the University will turn on the Memorial Fountain and those in attendance will be addressed by Young Thundering Herd member, and current Huntington mayor, Steve Williams. The West Lot will then open to fans at 12 p.m.

"All I am and I ever hope to be is a direct result of being given the chance to play football for the Young Thundering Herd," Williams said. "The spring fountain ceremony honors those who perished on that rainy evening on November 14, 1970. We also honor them by acknowledging that there is a circle of life that teaches us lessons to this day. I'm honored to stand before and with my teammates to remind our city, state, nation and the world that we are what we are today because we learned how to stand strong in the face of adversity."

Also at noon, the Marshall Athletics Ticket Office will host a Choose-Your-Seat event in the stadium. This will be the first time customers may purchase tickets and choose any open seats. The football season ticket renewal deadline will be 4 p.m. on Friday, April 12. For all ticket information, visit HerdZone.com.

At 1 p.m., Marshall Football's alumni will hold a flag football game in the stadium, prior to the start of the 2 p.m. scrimmage. Any alumni who are interested in participating may register here: https://marshallathletics.wufoo.com/forms/z2whp7g0iwiidh/. Those who don't wish to play are still encouraged to register for the party and to receive their alumni T-shirt.

"It will be a real treat to have our alumni back," said Marshall head coach Doc Holliday. "All of them have played a big role in building the history and tradition of Marshall Football and it will be good to visit with them before our Spring Scrimmage."

Tickets ($5) and West Lot parking ($20) for the Green and White Scrimmage are on sale now.

The HERDSPYs (Big Green Dinner) will be Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m. in the Don Morris Room of the Memorial Student Center. The gala will feature keynote speaker Lee Smith, a distinguished Thundering Herd football alumnus and current member of the NFL's Oakland Raiders.
