I'm driving up from NC for this game for the first time so I can take all three kids to a game at the same time. Any advice for what time to get there, which gate to use, etc.? I assume there's no advance ticket sale or assigned seating, right?

No assigned seats, but there are advanced ticket sales @ the official OSU site, though not sure when they start selling

Tix are sold in advance at hangonsloopy.com. Probably around $5 a seat, with (I think) under age 5 free. Def buy ahead, unless you want to stand in tix lines at the Shoe. My guess is they go on sale in about a month?
Probably all gates will be open. Few sections behind the bench will be reserved for big donors/friends of school but otherwise Shoe is open seating. A few ushers will be around, probably to point out the bathrooms and such. Unless you don't care where you sit, get there well before the LAX game (warmup act?) starts, which I think is around 11:00 am. Otherwise you'll be pretty high up.
Concession stands will be open, but vendors did not come to seats..in our sections anyway. Cheerleaders will be there, split into Scarlett and Gray squads. Band will sit in split squad too and play as usual between plays.
Regular officials are used, and they'll announce their calls like a regular game, but no replay appeals. Scoreboard will show replays and commercials like reg season too.
Outside the Shoe will also be like a reg game...plenty of tailgates and venders hawking stuff...parking about as bad too.
Bring a camera to get some pics of your kids! You, and they, will have a fantastic time...unless the weather is really, really bad. Enjoy!!

I phoned the ticket office last week, and was told tickets will go on sale sometime around mid-March. No specific date was known.

that lacrosse game prior to the spring game should be great. i would suspect you want to get there for that game to have really good seats for the spring game considering it's general admission. denver plays a really fun and fast style of lacrosse, so it should be fun to watch.
