The Priority Charity Bowl ODU Spring Game is set for Saturday, April 19 at 2 p.m. at Kornblau Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium.

This annual spring football tradition—free and open to the public—marks the culmination of ODU’s spring practice and offers fans a unique opportunity to get an early look at the 2025 Monarchs. Gates open at 1 p.m., with complimentary parking available in the Red Garage located at the corner of 49th Street and Bluestone Avenue. Fans should enter through the southeast gate and sit on the east side of the stadium.

Immediately following the game, ODU will host its first-ever Fan Field Day, turning the field into an interactive experience for the whole family. Fans will have the rare chance to go on the field to meet ODU Football players and coaches, along with student-athletes from ODU Men’s Basketball and Women’s Tennis. The event will feature autograph sessions, photo opportunities, and on-field activities for fans of all ages—including chances to win exclusive ODU fan packs.

A limited-edition ODU Football Priority Charity Bowl Spring Game poster will be available while supplies last. In addition, all current ODU football season ticket holders will receive a 20% discount on merchandise at the ODU Bookstore tent, located just inside the southeast gate. Fans will also have their first opportunity to purchase the 2025 ODU Football Tradition Tee, available exclusively at the bookstore during the event.

The Charity Bowl, in its 56th year, is America’s longest running charity football game. The event raises money for Hampton Roads children’s charities. Last year’s Charity Bowl raised over $800,000 for the charities, a record for the event
