DAYTON – The University of Dayton football team is finishing up the 2025 spring season with the Flyers' spring game coming up on Sunday, April 13.  Start time for the game will be 3:00 p.m. ET.  The game will be played at the Jerry Von Mohr Practice Facility.  Gates open at 2:30 p.m., and admission is free.

Due to limited seating at JVM, fans are encouraged to bring their own seating.  Returning players' families will be located at the east end of the field, while members of UD's 2025 recruiting class and their families will be located at the west end.  Other fans at the game can sit in the north grandstand, or in their own chairs on either side of the offensive team bench area on the north track.

With other events going on at the Arena Sports Complex, football fans should enter the parking lot from Arena Park Drive at the entrance across from the football field (use 20 Arena Park Drive, Dayton, OH for GPS directions).  The parking attendant will direct you to the designated parking area. At the end of the football game, fans will exit the parking lot by driving behind Welcome Stadium to Gate D.  

The winning team will be determined  at a later date when film evaluation is concluded.  Immediately after Sunday's spring game, the 2025 team captains will be announced.
