DeLAND, Fla. — Stetson Athletics has announced that Saturday's football game against Valparaiso at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium has been moved to 3:30 p.m. ET, a change from the originally scheduled 1 p.m. kickoff.
The adjustment comes as a result of a nationwide ground stop that delayed Valparaiso's flight to Central Florida, requiring additional time for the Beacons to arrive ahead of Saturday's Pioneer Football League matchup.
The contest will still serve as Stetson's home finale, featuring Senior Day and Military Appreciation festivities. The Hatters will recognize 16 members of the football program during a special Senior Day ceremony, while Stetson's Beach Volleyball and Men's Tennis teams will be honored with a ring ceremony at halftime.
Saturday's game will stream live and free of charge on the Stetson Hatters YouTube channel.
Additional updates regarding the revised game-day schedule and pregame activities will be communicated through GoHatters.com and Stetson Athletics' official social media channels.
