Football Spring Game Draws Big Crowd, Features Big Plays

BOONE, N.C. — Fall or spring, supporters of App State Football get excited to show up at The Rock.

The Mountaineers hosted a "Battle at The Rock" spring game on a crisp, sunny Saturday in mid-April, in front of approximately 15,000 fans, creating a festive and fall-like atmosphere as the west side of Kidd Brewer Stadium was occupied with an impressive crowd of students and visitors to the High Country.

With head coach Dowell Loggains and his staff preparing for their first season in Boone, the program's first spring game since 2014 — there was an open scrimmage in 2019 — gave #AppNation its first look at the 2025 team in action.
