March Madness Day I: A break from hoops - UM to host first night game
For the first time in team history, the University Michigan will host a night football game at Michigan Stadium when the Wolverines welcome hated rival Notre Dame on Sept. 10, 2011.
New Michigan athletics director David Brandon made the historic scheduling announcement Thursday afternoon in Ann Arbor, according to the Associated Press.
The 2011 game will kick off at 8 p.m. ET and be televised by ESPN or ESPN2.
That looks like a good idea, as I've wondered why UM didn't host night games in the past. I don't know how well attended the game will be, though. Most Michigan football fans are in bed by 6:30 every night. I'm not sure all those old folks will make it through a game that might go until 11:30 at night. It should be fun, either way.
