WONDER BOYS FOOTBALL ANNOUNCES CHANGE TO SATURDAY'S GREEN AND GOLD SPRING SCRIMMAGE

        RUSSELLVILLE, Arkansas – Arkansas Tech Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Steve Mullins has announced a change of venue for his team’s Green and Gold Spring Scrimmage that is scheduled for this Saturday.

The scrimmage, which was originally scheduled to be played on the practice field adjacent to Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field, has now been moved to Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field. Kickoff for the Green and Gold Scrimmage will still be at 3 p.m., as the scrimmage is part of Tech’s Centennial Birthday Bash celebration on campus this weekend.

With the change from the practice field to the game field, Tech will now play four 10-minute quarters and the game will feature Gulf South Conference officials and the game clock and 25/40-second clock will be utilized.

“The construction project on our field has been pushed back one week, so we decided to move the Green and Gold Spring Scrimmage from the practice field to Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field,” Mullins said Tuesday.

The construction in Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field, which will now begin on Monday, April 20, will improve the drainage, along with redoing the grass playing surface and adding landscaping around the stadium.

Saturday’s Green and Gold Game will be the second to last scrimmage of the spring for the Wonder Boys, as they will conclude its run of 15 spring practices with its annual Senior Bowl on Tuesday, April 21, on the practice field adjacent to Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field.
