Silver & Blue Spring Game set for Saturday

RENO, Nev. – Nevada will hold the Silver & Blue Spring Game this Saturday at Mackay Stadium. Gates will open at noon, with the event set to kick off at 1:30 p.m.

The spring game will be preceded by the 2024 Joel Bitonio & Austin Corbett Youth Camp from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Mackay Stadium.

Activities and festivities for fans will include a fan zone in Jensen Plaza, featuring food trucks, a Hot August Nights Car Display, a sausage tasting courtesy of Flochinni Food Provisions, and the Pride of the Sierra Marching Band.

The new era of Nevada Football launches in 2024 as head coach Jeff Choate embarks on his first campaign at the Wolf Pack helm. Choate spent the past three seasons (2021-23) as co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach at Texas, helping lead the Longhorns to a Big XII title and College Football Playoff appearance in 2023.

Choate's first season at the Wolf Pack helm will feature seven home contests, with five taking place before November. Ten of Nevada's 13 opponents, including five of the seven visiting Mackay Stadium, played in a bowl game in 2023.

Nevada Football's "Drive For 25," a message to Wolf Pack fans to get Mackay Stadium to at least 25,000 attendees for the Aug. 24 opener against SMU, continues its push as season ticket prices for 2024 begin for as low as $99 for adults and $60 for children 12 and under. Family 4-PACK's are also available and include four General Admission season tickets and complimentary parking for only $400—a total savings of $200. Season Ticket Members can renew their tickets online by visiting MyNevadaTickets.com or by calling (775) 348-PACK.
