APRIL 16, 2024 — While the Orange reigned supreme, the real winners of the UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game were the fans.

On Saturday, April 13, more than 8,000 fans flocked to the Alamodome for the annual UTSA Football scrimmage, an official Fiesta San Antonio event since the team’s debut in 2011. The final score: 11-10 Orange (offense) team over the Blue (defense) team.

Dignitaries of the day’s event included Miss Fiesta and first-generation Roadrunner Ciara Davila, a senior in the UTSA Department of Biology. 

The UTSA Football Fiesta Spring Game marked the conclusion of the Roadrunners’ spring season of 15 workouts, which began on March 4.

UTSA will kick off its 14th season of play and second as a member of the American Athletic Conference on Saturday, August 31, against Kennesaw State at the Alamodome. 

The Fiesta festivities concluded with an autograph session on the field after the game.
