PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Due to the NFL Draft preparations, there will be no fans at the Pitt Spring Game on April 11.

The annual end-of-Spring-practice scrimmage will still be held in Acrisure Stadium as the Panthers get back to work after spring break with multiple practices a week until that game.

"Fans will still have the opportunity to celebrate Pitt Football this spring at the Pitt Block Party at Arts Landing during the NFL Draft from April 23-25," a statement reads. "The free three-day fan event in Downtown Pittsburgh’s Cultural District will feature an immersive Pitt Football museum and draft showcase, live entertainment, food trucks and interactive activities highlighting Pitt’s rich NFL legacy."

Pitt opens the season with four straight home games starting September 5 against Miami-Ohio, then UCF, Syracuse on Thursday night, September 17 and Bucknell on September 26.
