Washington State University's football team will host an open practice and kids clinic this weekend at Union Stadium in Spokane, giving local fans a chance to see the team in action without having to make the 90-minute drive to Pullman. The event is part of the Cougars' efforts to engage with their fanbase and create a stronger connection between the team and the community.

Why it matters

As one of the largest universities in the state, WSU has a loyal following across Washington, but many of its fans are based in Spokane rather than the school's home city of Pullman. Bringing the team to Spokane for a public event helps the Cougars reach and connect with this important part of their fanbase.

The details

The open practice and kids clinic will take place this Saturday at Union Stadium in Spokane. Fans will have the opportunity to watch the Cougars go through their paces on the field, while younger attendees can participate in a special clinic led by the WSU coaching staff and players.
