spring game
Preseason football exhibition
A spring game is an intra-squad scrimmage held by American football teams, typically college programs, at the end of spring practice.
It gives coaches a chance to evaluate players and offers fans an early look at the upcoming season's roster.
Spring games are often open to the public and treated as low-stakes previews: Fifty thousand fans showed up for the spring game.
