Virginia Football held its Spring football Festival on Saturday amidst a small, but passionate crowd that chose to attend the team’s last practice rather than the Foxfield Races.
Though many fans expressed their frustration on Twitter that the “spring game” was scheduled on the same day as Foxfield, head coach Bronco Mendenhall has previously stated that the spring football festival is treated just as another practice, rather than a showcase or pep rally type of event.
“You saw a very similar format to what we’ve been doing the entire spring today,” Mendenhall said after the game.
