Â
3. What is the format of the 2025 Green and Gold Spring Football Game?
This year's game will be more of a Showcase, where the football program will show more of a practice format. There will be five periods during the 'game' that will feature different game components such as: 7-on-7 / Pass Rush 1-on-1; Scrimmage Period; 2-Minute Drill; Red Zone; Special Teams.
Â
4. Will concession stands be open? New Belgium Porch?
Yes and yes! A limited number of concessions stands throughout Canvas Stadium and the New Belgium Porch will be open and pouring.
Â
5. I didn't pre-register for the Grit Run or Youth Clinic. Can I still sign up?
Yes! You may register on Saturday morning as early as 10:30 AM for the Grit Run and upon entering the stadium for the youth clinic. We are expecting big numbers for both events, so pre-registration is always appreciated!
Â
6. Will the Spring Game be broadcast on television or radio?
Yes and no. There will be no television broadcast or internet stream of the 2025 Green and Gold game, but if you aren't able to make it, the Rams Radio Network will be calling all the action from 1-3 PM from the OCR Field Club.
In Fort Collins, the game will air live on Power 102.9 FM and anywhere you can stream on the Varsity Network app (Apple | Google).Â
Â
7. What if I need extra Colorado State gear?
You're in luck! Both the team store on the northwest corner of the stadium and in the stadium (behind section 128) will be open with many new items to purchase for the upcoming season!
Â
8. Is the clear bag policy in effect?
Yes. As we are expecting a large crowd, the clear bag policy inside Canvas Stadium is in effect.

Â
9. Can I purchase 2025 football tickets?
Yes! The 2025 football season will be here before we know it and the Rams have seven home games again! The CSU ticket sales team will be in Canvas Stadium on Saturday at the north entrance, near the New Belgium Porch, to help fans secure their seats for the upcoming season.
