Don't ever say that Dan McCarney isn't in tune with the seasons. Spring begins March 20 and North Texas spring football starts three days later on March 23. Time for everyone to mark their calendars with these dates for spring ball at North Texas. The time frame is March 23-April 15 when the spring game will be held.
Spring football begins on March 23 at 6 a.m. Yes, get up early if you want to get your first glimpse of the first practice under head coach Dan McCarney. All Wednesday practices will be at 6 a.m. to work around the class schedules of many student-athletes.
The rest of the times will vary depending on the day. And remember all spring practices are open to watch. I hear you already, "Can I come inside the gates and watch practice though?"
That's still a work in progress. Safety and liability are the top concerns because there is really only one area that fans can watch from between the two fields, but if something can be worked out it will. Its TBA for now, but we will let you know.
