Green & Gold Weekend Details Announced
WACO, Texas -- Baylor Athletics is gearing up for the Green & Gold Weekend in Waco on Friday-Saturday-Sunday, which will feature a bevy of Baylor events on campus.
The Green & Gold Game will start at 12 p.m. at McLane Stadium on Saturday. Admission is free and the gates will open at 11 a.m. Parking will be free in the McLane Stadium lots.
The format for the day will focus on a traditional practice with limited team competition periods during the event. With the structure of the event geared more towards a productive practice there will be no broadcast or streaming option.
The offense will wear green uniforms and the defense will don gold.
For the 2024 season, Baylor fans will notice new visual elements at McLane Stadium, geared towards enhancing the fan experience, including a sparkling new videoboard. With the on-going visual renovation efforts at McLane Stadium, Baylor will not have a permanent videoboard structure for the scrimmage.
Baylor is in the midst of a new offensive install with the addition of Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach Jake Spavital and the transition of Coach Dave Aranda as the defensive play caller has created exciting elements on both sides of the ball.
Fans are encouraged to sit on the sidelines including in the student section and Baylor Line spaces. Baylor ticket sales staff will be on the concourse near Gate C to discuss ticket packages for the 2024 season with interested fans.
The Baylor Family can start their day at the third Baylor annual Alumni Cook Off, featuring 10-15 teams starting at 9 a.m. in the McLane Stadium Amphitheater.
