MOSCOW — In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Idaho’s spring football game has officially been canceled, university officials said.
The Silver and Gold Game was scheduled for April 17 at the Kibbie Dome.
In light of the current steps being taken with events across the world, Idaho football said it will follow suit as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of its student-athletes, coaches and fans.
“It’s unfortunate that we’ll be unable to invite the families and alumni to the spring game this year,” Idaho football coach Paul Petrino said. “In the interest of the health and safety of our student-athletes and our community we have decided to forgo this year’s spring game. We look forward to seeing all our fans again at the games next fall.”
Idaho football recently wrapped up a signing period which saw the Vandals ranked as the fifth-best signing class in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Spring break has begun, with classes resuming online-only on March 23. Campus will remain open to all students after the break.
