Mailbag Question: Regarding Stadium

Hi there,

Do you guys know if the "new" stadium, once it is completed, will be equipped to host a night game? UM needs to get into that market!

Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the question. First off, it is not going to be a new stadium, but we know what you mean.

The renovations will not be done until 2010 and it will have capabilities to host night games if the athletic department wants to have them, but I really doubt it happens.

The new luxury boxes on both sides will have stands on top of them to hold lighting structures. Everything that I have heard to date is the athletic department is not planning to install lights at this time unless a donor comes out and pays for them.

Right now they will have all the power and lighting to handle it and if there is a night game or a later fall game that starts at 3:30 and ends into the night that the TV company will have to supply the lighting.

So there shouldn’t be anymore of the “lighting trucks” that normally are around the stadium on the later games.
