Stanford begins its 2017 spring practices on Feb. 28. The Cardinal will hold open practices on weekends -- March 4, March 12 and April 8.
Last season, Stanford extended a school-record with its eighth straight bowl appearance, the longest streak in the Pac-12. The Cardinal then capped its sixth 10-win season in the last seven years with a 25-23 win over North Carolina in the Sun Bowl. It marked the fourth bowl victory for head coach David Shaw, the most in program history.
