IU football concludes spring practice with the spring game on Thursday evening in Bloomington.
For many who were unable to get to Bloomington for the national championship celebration in January, this will be the first opportunity to greet Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers in person since the historic 2025 season ended.
And unlike January, the weather forecast is signaling a much more pleasant evening, with temperatures in the 70s with light wind and no rain.
Admission to the game is free.
