PROVO, Utah — The BYU football team will conduct a “Friday Night Lights” spring scrimmage open to the public on Friday, March 27, at LaVell Edwards Stadium.  As part of this special evening event, the team will also conduct a football clinic for kids up to the eighth grade and an autograph signing session for all fans.

The festivities begin at 4:30 p.m. leading up to the scrimmage at 6 p.m. Admission is free.

Gates 1, 3, 5 (west), 7 and 11 (east) will open at 4 p.m. Concessions will be open for fans on the east and west stands as well as food trucks at Gate 1 (southwest).

The kids clinic and autograph signing takes place from 4:30-5:30 p.m. before the BYU football players go to the locker room to get ready for the scrimmage.  Music, highlights on the video boards and on-field promotional events will lead up to the team retaking the field for warmups in advance of the scrimmage at 6 p.m.

The clinic is available for schoolchildren up to the eighth grade. The clinic will take place on the field, while the autograph signing will take place just off the field on the sidelines and end zone.

Fans coming to get autographs will be provided with a free poster for the players to sign.

The “Friday Night Lights” spring scrimmage is one of 15 practice sessions the team will conduct prior to spring drills concluding on April 3.
