Students came to the
University of Michigan earlier
this month already excited
for Oct. 7’s home football
game against Michigan State
University. But the buzz
really picked up Monday
morning when it was officially
announced the game would
have a 7:30 p.m. kickoff time,
officially making it an “under
the lights” game.
This is the first time
Michigan has hosted a night
game since 2014. There have
only been three others in the
Big House — one in 2011, one
in 2013 and one in 2014. The
Big 10’s new contract with
TV networks gives control
of game start times to the
networks, rather than the
schools involved. Before this
change, the Michigan-MSU
game was seen as immovable
from its traditional afternoon
start time.
Fans don’t seem to be upset
about the change, though.
Engineering junior Rachel
Fenberg said she was thrilled
to find out it would be a night
game, especially because the
rest of her family are Michigan
State fans.
“I’m very excited for the
night game,” she said. “I grew
up a State fan, so this was
always a big game for me,
with my family rivalry. And
I’ve never been to a night
game before, and I’m just very
excited for the atmosphere.”
Although people are
excited, many safety concerns
surround the game. However,
athletic director Warde Manuel
told The Detroit News he’s
confident in the University’s
ability to host a safe night
game.
“I think it’s different
(than a day game) from the
standpoint of increased staffing
levels we need to have for the
safety and fan experience of
getting around,” Manuel said
in August. “We add additional
lighting to our parking lots. ...
Obviously, the police forces,
but the University, Ann
Arbor, Washtenaw, the state
of Michigan are in increased
vigilance.”
There are other safety
concerns besides the darkness
and raucous fans, though.
“The longer people have to
tailgate, you see more issues
around alcohol and issues
related to that, so that also is a
concern,” Manuel said.
Fenberg agreed, saying
she thinks her fellow students
might get carried away in
excitement.
“I think there will be
more people who overdo it
tailgating, because they’re
probably going to start so
much earlier than they’re
used to,” Fenberg said. “Most
students have never done it
before and they won’t have a
routine. But hopefully, things
will go well.”
An additional concern
affects many fans and students
alike who are gearing up to go,
but know it’ll come at a steep
price. Twitter user LG posted
a photo of his StubHub receipt
for two tickets to the game.
The total was $505.20.
Nov. 4’s Minnesota game
was also rumored to be “under
the lights,” but the networks
can wait until 12 days before
the game to decide on a kickoff
time, so fans will be left
speculating for a while.
“We’ll have to see how
MSU goes,” Fenberg said. “But
I think it would be really fun
to have another (night game) if
it’s not freezing out by then.”

ON THE DAILY: IT’S GONNA BE A NIGHT (GAME) TO REMEMBER
Matt Vailliencourt/Daily
Students block bus routes on North University Avenue in protest of recent racist incidents on campus Monday
importance of bridging the gap
between
undergraduate
and
graduate students on campus.
“I think that in all programs,
whether
undergraduate
or
graduate, there’s something that
I think we can benefit from from
dialogue within our community or
program,” she said.
Jawad gave voice to many
students’
frustrations
with
racism and crime on campus,
encouraging council members to
facilitate conversation on possible
solutions. Council members further
discussed issues with the publicity
of these incidents, examining how
the University of Michigan goes
about making students aware of the
details of such incidents.
Public Policy Rep. Samuel
Lawrence,
a
Public
Policy
senior,
expressed
concerns
with University officials not
releasing information or alerts
to
students,
specifically
in
regard to the issue of vandalism
on the Rock.
“I would imagine that there
are people higher up that don’t
want that information being
spread for a number of reasons,
but I do think we as students
have the right to know when
things are defaced,” Lawrence
said. “I wouldn’t have known
about any of this (vandalism)
had I not been at the right place
at the right time, and I don’t
think luck should determine
how much you know about
what’s going on on campus.”
Pharmacy
Rep.
Kiran
Vangipuram,
a
Pharmacy
junior, expressed his hesitation
with “politicizing events.”
“My dean at the College of
Pharmacy did send out an email
to the entire school,” he said.
